HILLSBORO FIREFIGHTERS RANDOM ACTS PROGRAM
This charity program has been created by dedicated firefighters and employees from the City of Hillsboro who truly believe that we can make a difference in our community in ways besides our emergency responses and daily interaction with the public. As firefighters, we respond into the homes of citizens where we can observe up close, the personal situations where people truly need a hand to live and succeed. We seek to plant positive seeds in our neighborhoods to the benefit of the whole community. Our aim is simple – to help our fellow firefighters and city employees give something extra back to the communities they live in and care for.
