Our Programs
At Backing the Brave, we turn community generosity into real-world support for our everyday heroes. Explore how your involvement fuels two core efforts:
Hero Meals
Nothing fuels a long shift like a warm, hearty meal. Through our partnership with Hudde’s Bagels, every $10 donation delivers one breakfast or lunch directly to nurses, corrections officers, firefighters, EMS crews, and police on the front lines.
How it works:
You donate → 2. Huddy’s prepares and packages the meals → 3. Local heroes receive a nourishing meal on us.
Mini-Grant Fund
Launching Soon! Sometimes our heroes need more than a meal. Our Mini-Grant Fund will award $250 grants each quarter to those facing unexpected hardships – whether it’s emergency car repairs, medical bills, or other urgent expenses. While we finalize our nomination process, you can help us reach our first funding goal.
Stay Tuned:
- Grants awarded quarterly
- Nominations by colleagues, friends or family
Every donation, t-shirt sale and sponsorship brings us closer to honoring and uplifting those who give so much. Together, we can keep our heroes fed today… and supported tomorrow.
