Tacoma Pierce County Chaplaincy was incorporated in 1971 to provide crisis support services to first responders and the community. We accomplish this mission by commissioning, training and supporting Public Safety Chaplains who serve Police and Fire Agencies throughout Pierce County. Our organization is funded solely by private donations made by First Responders and members of the community. Thank you for your support!
