Mission & ValuesMission
& Values
Our mission is to provide you with the tools you need to better support your community. We define “tools” as equipment, education, and resources. We've launched with the Borrow a First Aid Kit service as a first step to achieving this vision!
We are built on the belief that the vast majority of people want to help those around us when they need it; we might just not have what we need to do that well. That's where we can help. By increasing the number of people prepared to respond during or immediately after an incident, we can limit its severity and reduce impacted individuals’ recovery times.
Aid and Assist is committed to fostering community wellbeing through kindness, respect, mutual support, and the use of evidence-based practices. We are dedicated to providing prompt, responsive, and high-quality service to prepare you to support your community.
Meet our Team
Aid and Assist is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers. We are led by a volunteer Board of Directors, and day-to-day operations are managed by our Service Managers. Because we’re a small non-profit, Service Manager positions are currently held by our Director team.
