We are canteen 26

supporting Fire, police, EMS, and other agencies

When the sirens wail and heroes rush towards danger, a silent force stands ready behind them: the South Florida Emergency Response Team. 

We are 100% volunteer, driven by the spirit of community. Our team is a diverse tapestry of everyday heroes, united by a singular purpose to stand beside those who stand for us. 

We provide support to fuel the tireless efforts of Fire, Police, EMS, and other agencies, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

how to utilize our services

We support both dispatched agencies and private organizations.

dispatched agencies

If you are an accredited agency, we can add our services to your department, free of charge. Contact us to discuss integration.

We also provide our support services to private organizations. If you are holding a community event where we can be of assistance, let us know.

getting involved and showing support

Donate, volunteer, spread the word. Let’s show our first responders that they’re not alone, that Canteen 26 is always there, refueling the heroes who fuel our safety. Together, we can be the heroes behind the heroes.

Are you interested in joining us as a force behind the force? Together, we can be the heroes behind the heroes.

Our funding comes from the hearts of our community: municipalities, private citizens, and corporations who recognize the value of a silent hero.

Every dollar donated is an investment in resilience, a Thank You to those who run towards danger while others run away.
