The Vancouver Firefighter Charities (VFC) is an organization operated entirely by the Firefighter employees of Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services (VFRS). While the VFC operates its own events, under its own direction, it does so with support from the VFRS, through provision of fire apparatus and other considerations at some of the events that the charitable contributes to. This support is very much appreciated. The VFC is proud to partner with many other charitable organizations throughout the Lower Mainland to provide presence, volunteers and support at their own events. In addition, VFC-owned programs provide financial support to a number of organizations, meaning that single donations go a long way in the community.
