SMYRNA, Georgia — The Smyrna Public Safety Foundation has awarded more than $20,000 so far this year through its Benevolence Fund, offering financial assistance to local first responders and their families during times of injury, loss, or unexpected hardship.

The fund is designed to help Smyrna police officers, firefighters, and other public safety personnel facing sudden financial strain. Assistance supports families dealing with some of life’s most difficult challenges.

The program relies on community support to continue providing aid. Donations to the Benevolence Fund help ensure financial assistance is available when local first responders need it most.

Residents and businesses interested in learning more about the Benevolence Fund and considering making a contribution through the organization’s website at SmyrnaPSF.org.
