The idea of our charity was conceived when we lost a fellow Peoria Firefighter several years ago. We came together as a family, and firefighters began donating money from each of their own paychecks to assist our fallen firefighter’s young wife and three year old daughter. Time passed and the young family was no longer in need of our financial support, but our membership decided to continue the gratifying feeling of helping those in need. Peoria Firefighters Charities was formally started in 2000 with the intent of being involved in the community and making a difference.
