QRU Nonprofit Organization

Raising money and creating awareness for rural emergency responders and Quick Response Units across Southern Idaho. We are helping those who Answer the call. Our mission is to create awareness of the need for support and unite Idaho in support of and funding of all our rural emergency responders organizations. The majority of these men and women work on a volunteer basis while purchasing many of their much needed supplies and training using their own personal funds. They use their own vehicles and leave their “day jobs” to respond to emergencies as they arise. These teams are the first line of response to our outdoor enthusiast activity areas and are oftentimes not recognized. Injuries or accidents suffered by outdoor enthusiasts and travelers on rural roads often occur in areas far from a local hospital and emergency services. Without these units being available in rural areas, response from an emergency team could take over an hour.
