Hillsborough County Chapter
Since January 2017, multitudes of events have been conducted that impacted the lives of our First Responders and Military Veterans throughout the Hillsborough County area. The list below are some of the highlights from these incredible three years. The list include opportunities to train, mentor, speak, and provide a ministry of presence through visitation at work, home and the hospital.

This month began the forward focus for sponsorships for the BOH in Oct with multiple businesses visited and provided information for the various sponsorships. There were two strategic partnerships starting with the I Love PC Organization that hosted the First Responder Community picnic and the 9/11: Remember, Honor, Serve organization that desires to support C2 and Operation Restore with a funding focus during the 2021 Sept. 11th St Pete event. Chaplaincy Care is positioning to take the lead on the future Operation Restore Trauma conferences starting in October, 2021.

Chaplaincy Care Counseling Center (C4)
Developing a proactive payment plan for First Responders that cannot pay co-pay or over-all fee for services. We are working with Catrina for development of new budget for 2022 to help cover our heroes and their mental health needs. The growing list of those taking advantage of C4 services has tripled since the initial launch in April 2020. Lee West continue to work toward his licensure for his Counseling degree.
Chaplaincy Care Academy
CH 101 had 2 complete classes. We are developing the CH 501 mentorship block to begin videoing in June. We are presently working to bring on an additional C2 chaplains for HCPS-Security.
Closing Thought:
Thanks to all our sponsors and donors for the opportunity to pour time and resources into the lives of our First responders and their families. Without you, we cannot do it!
