Maddie's Footprints
The vision of Maddie’s Footprints is to help families who have experienced miscarriages, stillbirths or the loss of an infant. We help lead these families in the right direction when they are in need of information and/or counseling. We also offer these families financial assistance for end-of-life expenses and/or medical expenses that can be overwhelming during their difficult time.
Blue Star Moms
Our mission is to continue in the tradition of the Blue Star Mothers of America by answering the call of families in need, promoting patriotism through education, and to bring to the forefront the sacrifices of our military personnel and their families. We hope to promote awareness and foster support of our troops through the sponsorship and participation in community projects, patriotic rallies, parades and veterans' ceremonies. In a nutshell, we are a support through service organization. We serve because our children serve.
CALEF
The Capital Area Law Enforcement Foundation was formed in 2016 after the deaths and shootings of law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge. What was the worst day in law enforcement history in Baton Rouge became a mission for CALEF. Officers died that day because of the quality of bulletproof vests they were wearing. CALEF made it its number one goal in raising money for the best bulletproof vests on the market. Since 2016 we have raised in excess of 2 million dollars and have gifted over 60 local law enforcement agencies with over 2,000 vests. Our problem is that ALL bulletproof vests expire after 5 years and process starts over. In these days of limited budgets, CALEF assists law enforcement agencies with the purchase of vests. We recently had a EBRSO deputy it in the middle of his chest with a bullet. The Angel Armor vest absolutely saved his life.
