Whether you are working the holiday shift, spending time with loved ones, or honoring someone who served, please know that the CPOF stands beside you.

👁‍🗨 Thank You to Those Who Serve as Our Eyes and Ears

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the many individuals who keep us connected to correctional communities nationwide.
Our field representatives, volunteers, Honor Guard members, partnering agencies, and supporters serve as our vital eyes and ears, ensuring that:

• staff in crisis are never overlooked,

• the mission of Taking Care of Our Own reaches every facility and every state.

Your vigilance, compassion, and willingness to speak up make it possible for us to provide timely catastrophic assistance and support. We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us and for the role you play in strengthening our outreach.
