the jwmf community
The JW Memorial Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation that provides assistance to the families of first responders (law enforcement officers, emergency medical technicians, paramedics and fire fighters, both paid and volunteer) who have lost their lives or sustained significant injuries in the line of duty in the State of Idaho.
This membership-based organization offers several forms of financial assistance, access to resources and moral support. Our goal is to provide that assistance as quickly as possible.
