Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is dedicated to improving the lifesaving capabilities and the lives of local heroes and their communities. The Foundation was founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Firehouse Subs co-founders Chris Sorensen and Robin Sorensen traveled to Mississippi where they fed first responders as well as survivors. As they traveled by to Florida exhausted and exhilarated, they knew we could do more and the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was born. Since then, more than $50 million has been awarded to 4,263 fire, police, EMS and public safety organizations thanks to the generosity of donors nationwide.
