Sacramento Fire Department had the honor of welcoming the National Life Group Do Good Heroes to Station 2 as they presented the Do Good Heroes Award to Captain Joe Hunter for his work.
This recognition celebrates first responders who go above and beyond their duty to serve their communities.
As part of the award, Hunter was presented with a $1,000 donation to give to a nonprofit organization of his choice, and he selected the Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center, an organization that holds deep personal meaning to him and his family.
“I’m so grateful for this wonderful opportunity,” Hunter said. “The Family Justice Center does amazing work in the community to bring justice to those experiencing domestic violence, human trafficking, and elder abuse and our family wouldn’t have been as successful without this organization.”
Through his continued advocacy and dedication, in honor of his late sister Joanna, Hunter has worked tirelessly to bring awareness to domestic violence and support the mission behind Joanna’s Law, helping create meaningful change for families across California.
“Joe is a great representative and mentor to many here with Sacramento Fire Department and a true inspiration in all he has accomplished,” said Battalion Chief Keith Wade.
Do Good Heroes is a program that lets agents of National Life Group recognize fire-rescue-EMS, police departments and personnel for community service activities above and beyond their public safety duty.
