Operation Deltona Cares is a fundraiser supported by Deltona Fire Department, IAFF Local 2913 and The Deltona Firefighters Foundation. The Deltona Firefighters Foundation is a 501C3 organization created by IAFF Local 2913 Firefighter to allow us to help the community both on and off duty. Our firefighters believe this job is a calling that goes beyond duty days and it is our greatest honor to serve the citizens of Deltona.

​

Operation Deltona Cares was started by Lt. Chrissy Gallagher (retired) to help families in need throughout the City of Deltona's community. Lt. Gallagher started initially to help a couple of families in need and through her efforts the program has grown significantly.

 

In 2020, Operation Deltona Cares was able to help over 60+ families, 100+ children, and was able to assist additional local charities.
