Firehouse Subs® Public Safety Foundation of Canada Launches Canadian Wildfire Disaster Relief Fundraiser

All donations made to the Foundation between June 16-30, 2025 will go towards disaster relief and recovery

TORONTO, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Founded by firefighters, Firehouse Subs continues its commitment to public safety by launching a fundraising campaign dedicated to helping Canadians impacted by the  wildfires. From June 16 – June 30, all donations made to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada - either online or in-restaurant - will go towards the Foundation's Canadian Disaster Relief Fund, providing lifesaving equipment and resources to first responders and those affected by the devastating wildfires.

"The wildfires taking place in Western Canada are truly heartbreaking, and are greatly impacting the local communities we serve," said Sam Gallant, General Manager of Firehouse Subs Canada. "As a brand built on decades of fire and police service, we're proud to do our part with our Canadian Disaster Relief Fund, providing aid to first responders and victims of these fires."

In 2005, the Firehouse Subs founders established the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation in the US with the mission of providing funding, lifesaving equipment, and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations.

Ten years later, with the opening of the first Canadian Firehouse Subs restaurant in 2015, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada was born. Through this registered charity (BN/Registration #83145 2990), Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation of Canada has granted more than $5.1 million to 391 first responder and public safety organizations, funding five distinct areas, including:

• Lifesaving equipment to benefit emergency service organizations and public safety
• Prevention education tools for public safety and natural disaster preparedness
• Scholarships and continued education for public safety officers
• Natural disaster support
• Support for military veterans
