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.

If you are an accredited agency and would like to add our services to your department, free of charge, contact us today to start the process.

getting involved

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.
