About Our Mission

The Naperville Professional Firefighters for a Cause is a 501c.3 non-profit organization that was born from the desire of the brothers and sisters of the Naperville Professional Firefighters Local 4302 to do something more for the community they serve.

The mission of the NPFFC is to seek out reputable organizations and charitable efforts that are serving the greater good in the Naperville community. We strive to serve in partnership with these organizations in their respective missions.

Our general activity is based in, but not limited to, raising funds and awareness in an effort to support our partner non-profit organizations.

Since our inception in 2011, we have worked with more than a dozen local organizations to help sustain and jump start their respective missions. We have focused our impact on rallying our membership to volunteer, donate and raise awareness for the important work of the nonprofit missions in our community.

GOOD TIMES SUPPORTING GREAT CAUSES

The Bunk Bed Buildout

NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN

The NPFFC and the Naperville Fire Department are partnering with the non-profit Sleep in Heavenly Peace to embed their mission into the Naperville Community.

SHP believes that all children deserve a safe and comfortable place to sleep. So many great charities provide clothing, meals, and toys to families in need. But as wonderful as this aid is, few organizations offer suitable beds and bedding to the kids in these families. Sleep in Heavenly Peace sets out to help fill that gap. If a child needs a bed, we want to make sure they get one. Their motto: No kid sleeps on the floor in our town.
