About Us
Toledo Strong is a 501c3 pending non profit in Toledo, Ohio. It was founded by Larry Cready in 2014 shortly after the arson fire that killed Toledo Firefighters Stephen Machcinski and James Dickman. Originally founded to keep their memories alive and to offer support to the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department, its mission eventually evolved into supporting all first responders whenever needed.
Our mission is valiant:
People Helping People
Our vision is momentous:
Toledo Strong Envisions A World Where First Responders Have The Support, Resources And Recognition They Need To Effectively Serve The Public. We Strive To Create A Supportive Environment Where They Feel Valued And Respected, And Where Their Service Is Recognized And Celebrated. In Doing So We Hope To Empower The Youth To Help Others In Meaningful Ways, Creating A Stronger And More Resilient Community While Creating Sustainable Solutions That Promote The Well-Being and Dignity Of All Community Members.
