Responders Retreat is dedicated to serving Emergency Response personnel including dispatchers, law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and emergency room staff with a respite environment and resources to help manage stress that is incurred in the course of public service response. Our purpose is to contribute positively to their physical, emotional, and social well being by offering them a safe, confidential place to open a conversation about their stress and how it is affecting them not only in the workplace, but also in their home and their social life.

Your donation directly supports the heroes who dedicate their lives to keeping our communities safe. Every contribution helps cover the cost of retreats, lodging, meals, and essential resources that give both current and retired first responders a chance to rest, heal, and reconnect.

At Responders Retreat, participants find more than just a getaway — they experience meaningful conversation, valuable information, and uplifting recreation designed to ease the burdens of stress and trauma. Most importantly, they discover that they are not alone — that there is a community that understands and stands beside them.

Your generosity also helps us manage necessary administrative expenses like printing, insurance, and outreach — ensuring our programs can continue to grow and reach more first responders in need.

Responders Retreat is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. Our board is made up entirely of volunteers — no one takes a salary — so every dollar you give goes directly toward helping first responders find peace, connection, and renewal.
