We believe together we build stronger communities grounded in effective community safety partnerships when communities support the officers who protect them every day. Motivated by a passion to create positive synergy in divided communities, Serve & Connect uses common ground to shift mindsets and eliminate misconceptions. We create pathways for the community to uplift officers through our annual “Feed an Officer” campaign and Illuminight, our annual recognition event. We also assist families of fallen officers and officers critically injured in the line of duty through our tragedy response program.
On Dec. 14 (Greg Alia Day), we engage the community in showing appreciation to law enforcement. The campaign culminates in the delivery of lunches and other demonstrations of support.
Since 2015, we have raised more than $1.1 Million to assist families of fallen officers and critically injured in the line of duty. 100% is donated to the officers and their families.
Our annual mission celebration event is made possible thanks to our generous sponsors and honors police officers and community leaders who go above the call of duty. Illuminight is held yearly in March.
