Thousands of law enforcement professionals in the United States and around the world are working in dangerous environments, and they do not have a ballistic vest to protect them. In addition, thousands of officers are graciously provided new ballistic vests every five years. While the manufacturer warranty may be expired, often the vest will still effectively protect those that do not have one. The Armor of God Project recycles used ballistic vests and provides them to officers that need them.
Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has a program to help emergency service entities obtain life-saving equipment as well as fire prevention, safety, and disaster preparedness educational tools.
