The Fries Foundation
As a licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Fries Foundation is committed to reducing financial barriers that prevent houses of worship from receiving critical safety and security training. We also support the spouses of our nation’s first responders through the Heroes’ Homefront Seminar by providing mental health resources, education, and support. These seminars are led by first responder spouses who understand the unique pressures, sacrifices, and emotional challenges that come with the profession. By connecting families with others who have lived the same experiences, we help create a strong network of encouragement, resilience, and support.
In today’s increasingly hostile environment, we partner with volunteer safety teams by helping fund training, provide equipment, and strengthen their ability to protect their communities.
Through your generosity, we provide life-saving resources, mental health support, professional instruction, and mission-critical equipment to strengthen and safeguard communities across the Midwest and beyond. We are a Faith-Based Security Network partner.
