Firehouse Subs got some national exposure for its foundation, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, when it appeared on CNN's award-winning Anderson Cooper 360.

Cooper lauded the foundations efforts, which have resulted in more than $2 million in donations to public safety since the foundation was established in 2005.

Jacksonville-based Firehouse Subs is one of the nation's fastest-growing franchises and recently started a "Chip In" program that 1 cent of the proceeds from regularly-priced combo meals to the Foundation. Firehouse sells about 1.4 million combos a month. Firehouse also is using Facebook's gift application to raise additional funds.

Helping our hometown heroes
Why do we want to be heroes for the community?
Why the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation?
Launched in 2005 by Firehouse Subs founders Chris and Robin Sorensen, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation was created to extend the Firehouse Subs mission to give back to the community from where the founders started, in the firehouse.

Since Firehouse Subs was founded by firemen, what better way than to lend a helping hand to our hometown heroes? As former firefighters, your job is to serve the public, and you have to be prepared at any given time to help others and to save lives. Goodwill and serving others in the name of Firehouse Subs is contagious, and is spreading like wildfire through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.
