In 2001 a group of Hummer owners partnered with the Red Cross and founded HOPE: Hummer Owners Prepared for Emergencies. By becoming certified in CPR, First Aid, and other first-responder training, members of HOPE can become full fledged Red Cross Volunteers. Members are also required to receive an off-roading trail endorsement to ensure they know the limits of their Hummer. Should the need arise to get emergency supplies to a hard to reach area, members are called to volunteer their medical and Hummer off-roading skills. Hummer liked the idea so much they donated $6 Million to the Red Cross, along with several vehicles.

This is a great group – and if you own a Hummer, you should think about volunteering your time. Most volunteering would be in your state and community should the need arise – further training and registration is required to deploy to disasters outside of your state. Check out HOPE’s new website for all the details.

dan and i are in the process of completing the HOPE program application. it will require that you take a first aid course, CPR course, have a copy of your driving record, a background check, verification of completion of a off road course as well as some forms from the Red Cross.

we hope to get our application in within the next week and will have more information.
