Your Support Saves Lives.

Every time the call comes in, a missing child, a lost hiker, a flood-ravaged town — Rescue 101 Search and Rescue answers without hesitation.

Our volunteers leave their families, jobs, and comfort behind to serve others in their moment of greatest need. But we can’t do it alone.

As a 100% volunteer-operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Rescue 101 SAR depends on community support to remain Always Vigilant. Ready for Anything. So Others May Live.

Your tax-deductible gift directly funds the equipment, training, and operations that make real rescues possible.

SAR Mission Fund

Supporting active search and rescue operations across Ohio and beyond.

When someone goes missing, minutes matter. The SAR Mission Fund ensures our teams can deploy at a moment’s notice — fully equipped and ready for whatever terrain or weather they face.

Your contribution helps cover the essential costs that make every mission possible:

Fuel, mapping software, and navigation equipment
GPS and radio communication systems
Lighting, safety, and survival gear
Meals and rehab supplies for volunteers during extended searches
Replacement and maintenance of critical field gear

From the first call to the moment a loved one is brought home, your donation keeps our rescuers moving and keeps hope alive for families waiting for answers.

Disaster Mission Fund

Helping communities before, during, and after disaster strikes.

When hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods devastate communities, Rescue 101 SAR’s Disaster Response Team deploys to help those who’ve lost everything.

We cut fallen trees, clear roads, deliver aid, and provide medical support in areas too damaged for conventional response teams to reach.

Your gift to the Disaster Mission Fund helps us:

Deploy self-sustaining chainsaw and debris removal teams
Deliver emergency supplies, water, and food to affected families
Support our mobile field clinic and medical personnel
Provide emergency fuel, lodging, and logistics for multi-state deployments
Rebuild hope in communities that have been torn apart

When others are evacuating, we’re heading in, and your support helps make that possible.
