Why We Serve - What Is It?

What is the Aftermath Why We Serve Grant?

We are surrounded by heroes – law enforcement officers and first responders who risk their lives to keep our communities safe. But that’s not all. These Local Heroes often go above and beyond the call of duty to further connect with their communities through worthwhile causes like mentoring kids, feeding the homeless, and other community-building initiatives.

Their generosity and accomplishments aren’t always noticed, but the Aftermath is bringing recognition to these Local Heroes through the Why We Serve Grant. This initiative is our way of showing appreciation for the officers and first responders who are making a significant difference in the communities they serve.

Who can apply?

Law enforcement and first responders: tell us how you would use the grant to better serve a cause, community initiative, or charity.
Local citizens, community members, and charitable organizations: nominate an officer or first responder and share with us how their generosity and commitment has made an impact in your community or organization.

Aftermath Serves those who serve

As partners in response to crime scene and traumatic situations, Aftermath recognizes the importance of law enforcement officers and first responders who keep our communities safe. The Aftermath family is excited to learn how, together, we can give back to the causes that our Local Heroes serve off the clock. Take a look at the community initiatives from our past grant recipients.

"From my initial contact with Jeanine to the final walk through with Jason, Tristan, Marquel and Fritz Aftermath services has been tremendously upfront, kind and compassionate after the death of my sister. During such a difficult time I never would have thought that I would walk away with five new friends. I am forever grateful."

"Lacey and her team are amazing. We never experienced anything like this they walked us through process explained everything upfront even cost and went above and beyond. They were professional, compassionate and informative from minute they showed up even on a holiday. Sorry to say this hope I never need their services again but if we did Aftermath will be our 1st call. Thank you so much."

"The Pasadena Aftermath team did an outstanding job. Not only are they a remarkable team, they are also exceptional individuals. Over the course of the week that they were here, we got to know and trust them. They handled this unthinkable situation with grace, compassion, and the utmost respect for the victims. Words will never be able to truly capture the appreciation we have for them. When our world felt like it was hit with a tsunami, your team threw us a life preserver and told us that we will be okay again.The world needs more “Kevins”, “Jamies”, and “Hassens”, who will help lift the burden off of strangers who are facing their darkest days."

"Sterling and Aurelia did much more than clean the scene. They were patient, kind, and very compassionate. They took good care of the property as if it was there own. Sterling and Aurelia communicated with us every step of the way. Their presence alone did much to contribute to the healing process. On top of all that, they did a fantastic job cleaning the house. To be honest, we hated to see them leave. Our family thank them both to the highest degree!!"
