Bloomington Health Foundation, in partnership with the Local Council of Women and St. John Associates, granted funds to purchase high visibility coats to protect the firefighters of the Bloomington Fire Department.

Your generous donation, which helped provide high visibility coats for every operational firefighter is greatly appreciated! These coats drastically improve the ability for people to see our firefighters who are protecting property and saving lives 24 hours a day, especially at night or in inclement weather.

Filling this gap in funding came at a great time as we have been dealing with the fiscal impact of providing services during the COVID pandemic. The Administration’s main mission is to provide for the safety of our firefighters which allows them to serve our community and go home to their families in the same (or better) condition after every shift. You have helped us accomplish that mission and we are grateful for your support!
