Description

The Pasadena Fire Foundation invites you to join us in honoring a very special team, the Pasadena Outreach Response Team. Please join us for a "Friendraiser" event to bring awareness to The Pasadena Fire Foundation and the ways in which we support the Pasadena Fire Department. During the pandemic, they went above and beyond to serve our community and especially those in need. We want to introduce them, and honor them and all that they do for our friends in the community. Within the Pasadena Fire Department, there is an incredible team called PORT (Pasadena Outreach Response Team). The Team consists of firefighters, Tony Zee and Rod Hutchinson, social worker, Nathan Press, Union Station Homeless Services representative, Isaac Arreola, Huntington Hospital nurse, Patty Nogueda, and outreach worker, Monica Mercado. What they do: • Engage, assess, serve individuals who experience chronic homelessness, tend to be high utilizers of emergency room. • The program provides intensive case management, basic medical screenings and linkages to permanent supportive housing and other social supportive services. Please join us as we honor the PORT Team. Wine and light refreshments will be served. If you cannot attend, and would like to support, you can do so through our website https://www.pasadenafirefoundation.com/ The Pasadena Fire Foundation's mission is focused on raising funds to support the efforts of our local firefighters by providing financial assistance for advanced training, equipment purchases used in keeping our community safe, and supporting our Cadet Explorer Program, Girls Camp Program, as well as disaster preparedness initiatives.
