Giving Tuesday!

Rapid Response Charities was formed in 2019 by 4 best friends with the ultimate goal of providing support and assistance to America’s Homeless Veteran.  Through the years, the organization has expanded to include several additional programs. 

Operation Rapid Response : Our focus is to rapidly respond to any Veteran who is in need, with NO RED TAPE!

Operation Rover Rescue : Animals provide emotional support and comfort, yet the responsibility can bring added stress to an individual's life. We put our hearts and souls into the love and care they deserve until they find or are reunited with their forever homes.

Same = Same:  We are focused on mobilizing those who envision a world strengthened by diversity where our laws and society treat all people equally, including LGBTQ+ people and those of color.

Peace for Our Troops:  Peace For Our Troops program was established to provide awareness, education and information for people and families suffering from mental health issues caused by service time.

Our mission is to provide hope and healing to those who have been marginalized or forgotten. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and we are committed to making a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Our team consists of:  

Ken Romine, president

Amy Bond, VP finance

Deb Poe, VP Marketing

Karli Romine, VP community Events/Secretary
