In every community, there are people who enrich the lives of others by serving in a public service position, like firefighters, law enforcement officers, post office employees and more. Moms know that these people provide important services to keep our families safe. Many local and national businesses recognize first responders and government employees by offering a discount.

Trupanion Pet Health Insurance

Pets bring joy to our lives and become part of our family, but sometimes keeping your four-legged friend healthy can be expensive. Pet insurance may save you thousands so you can rest easy when your fluffy baby needs help. Trupanion Pet Health Insurance allows you and your veterinarian to focus on providing your pet with the best medical care, no matter what it takes.

The company offers an 11% discount off of the purchase price of a policy for USPS employees, but the way they structured their business makes pet healthcare even more affordable. Not only will the insurance cover 90% of eligible costs for all new injuries and illnesses, but the unique software used by the company allows them to approve claims and pay the bill directly to the veterinarian in minutes. You don’t have to pay the bill and wait for reimbursement.

Taylor Morrison Homes

Some of those employed in the most honorable professions struggle to save enough money to purchase a home. Lack of affordable housing is often cited as a reason that public servants can’t live in the communities they serve.

As an innovative homebuilder, Taylor Morrison Atlanta extends incentives and price reductions on new homes to important community members. Teachers, military members, and other public servants can request information about eligible homes in the Atlanta metro area to determine how the discount might affect their ability to purchase.  

Ford

With a long history as a leader in American car manufacturing, Ford understands the value of hard work. The company has made affordable cars since the days of the Model T and still considers it a priority today.

Ford offers additional savings for law enforcement and emergency response personnel like firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. The Ford First Responder Discount can equate to respectable savings, especially when combined with other existing offers. The company knows how hard first responders work, and is honored to offer a program designed to help the helpers. The offers available may vary, but eligible workers can find more information on the First Responder Appreciation Program website.

Apple

Local, state, and federal government employees get special pricing on iPhones and other iOS devices. The company makes it easy for these community advocates to snare a discount on third-party solutions as well.  Popular electronics can be purchased for employees and their immediate family members at a special price.

People dedicated to their jobs deserve companies dedicated to helping them

Fred Rogers, known well by millions of young TV viewers for his PBS show Mr. Rogers Neighborhood shared a story about his own mother, “My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.” It’s an iconic quote because we all realize how much value and bravery these everyday helpers bring to our communities.
