Our Founding:
The New Jersey Firemen’s Home was established in 1898 and is believed to be one of only two such institutions in the country, with the other being in New York State. The Bergen County Firemen’s Home Association was created in 1954.
Our Mission:
The Mission of the organization is to provide entertainment, gifts to the residents and most important provide support for the guests living at the home. The support includes items and equipment needed by guests who are not able to afford them. Donations for these goals come mostly through fire department and exempts association donations as well as bequests in memory of a loved one. The group normally travels to the home six times a year to entertain residents. During the annual Christmas party each resident receives a gift and our group tries to comply with a list provided by the former firefighters.
