One805 is dedicated to supporting the extraordinary men and women who protect our Santa Barabra community every day, our First Responders.
These include our local Fire Departments, Sheriff’s Office, Police Departments, and Emergency Medical Services personnel who stand on the front lines of every crisis, from wildfires and floods to medical emergencies, rescues, and daily calls for help. Our mission is to ensure that when they need us, we are there for them, just as they are always there for us.
With the guidance and active collaboration of all our County Chiefs, One805 is able to keep our finger on the pulse of what is happening in our First Responder community county-wide. Their oversight also enables us to ensure that all funds raised are quickly directed to where they are most urgently needed, to maximum effect. No other non-profit can do that.

Our Impact
We are the only organization to support all three primary First Responder agencies in Santa Barbara County. One donation helps all three.
Prepare
Community disaster preparedness is incredibly important in helping First Responders do their jobs efficiently. To build a culture of preparedness it is important to work with the whole community to improve response to disasters and emergencies. From the moment an event or disaster happens, citizens are the first, most directly affected.
Equip
When the moment comes for us to dial 911, we all need our First Responders to be the best equipped they can be. First Responder departments can submit grant requests to One805 for anything they might need that cannot easily or quickly be obtained through their normal budgetary process.
Support
There is also a growing need for resources and services to support First Responder’s positive mental health. Many mental health conditions, including depression, substance use disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and even suicidal ideation, are more common among First Responders.
Frontline Stories
First responders share, in their own words, the challenges and defining moments that shape their service to our community.
