Firehouse Subs H2O For Heros Program: FREE Sub with Donation of One Case Water

FIREHOUSE SUBS® EXTINGUISHES THE HEAT WITH H20 FOR HEROES

LOCAL RESTAURANTS OFFER FREE STEAMING HOT SUBS IN EXCHANGE FOR H20

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-- Firehouse Subs is hosting its first annual H20 for Heroes program on Saturday, Aug. 2, at all Kansas City restaurant locations. To cut the heat and sub cravings, the restaurant invites the community to donate one case of bottled water in exchange for one FREE medium sub*. The bottled water collected will be distributed to local fire departments through the H20 for Heroes program. The Kansas City Fire Department alone responds to an average of 80,000 EMS-related calls a year**, and water can be considered a life-saving tool. 

      

While this initiative represents the efforts of a local owner, the Firehouse Subs brand is familiar with giving back. Since 2005, the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation® has donated more than $165,992 worth of resources to first responders and public safety organizations in the Kansas City market and $10.1 million nationwide. Past H20 for Heroes programs in the state of Arizona alone have raised more than 2,000 cases of water through this one-day event.
