FDC and GOVX Brewing Support for First Responders Children’s Foundation

At Fire Dept. Coffee, we are passionate about two things – brewing amazing coffee and supporting firefighters and other first responders when they need us most.

We're certified by the National Veteran Owned Business Association, and we're proud to offer a 20% discount throughout October to all active-duty military members, veterans, first responders, and dispatchers. It's our way of saying "thank you" to those who dedicate their lives to serving others.

To ensure that the discount reaches the right individuals, we utilize the GOVX platform to verify our customers' service status. 

Now, throughout October, we’re participating in the GOVX Gives Back program to make an even bigger impact.

There are two major ways we’re making a difference:

1. Increased Discount: We're increasing our discount in October to 20% for active military, veterans, first responders, and dispatchers. It's our way of giving back a little extra to those who do so much for us.

2. Supporting the First Responders Children's Foundation: GOVX has committed to directing a portion of the proceeds from GOVX purchases in October to support the First Responders Children's Foundation. 

And here's the exciting part: FDC has promised to match the GOVX donation of up to $10K.

What is the First Responders Children's Foundation?

The First Responders Children's Foundation is an organization with a heartwarming mission. They provide financial support to children who have lost a parent in the line of duty, as well as to families enduring significant financial hardship due to tragic circumstances. The Foundation also supports, promotes and facilitates educational activities and programs created and operated by first responder organizations whose purpose is to benefit children or the community at large.

In 2023 alone, the Foundation has awarded 413 scholarships and counting to the children of first responders nationwide, totaling $1.14 million. These scholarships make a significant difference in the lives of young individuals who have faced tremendous challenges and losses.

How Can Coffee Lovers Get Involved?

How you can be part of this impactful collaboration during October. It's easy:

Purchase FDC Coffee and Gear Using a GOVX Discount Code: If you're current or prior military or a first responder, you can enjoy the increased 20% discount through GOVX. It's a fantastic opportunity to stock up on your favorite roasts while showing your support for the children of fallen first responders or first responders facing difficult situations.

Spread the Word: If you don’t personally qualify for FDC’s military or first responder discounts, that’s OK. There’s a good chance you know people who do qualify. Tell them about it — and let them know that October is their chance to give back while getting a great deal on FDC coffee. 

They'll be helping an amazing cause, and you’ll be introducing them to amazing coffee. The more people who join us in this mission, the greater our impact.

As you enjoy our daily coffee, you can take pride in knowing that your love for coffee can contribute to a brighter future for the children of the dedicated first responders we’ve lost.

Thank you for being a part of this important mission. Your support means the world to us and to the entire first responder community.
