Metro North Emergency Support Services
Metro North Emergency Support Services Inc. (M.N.E.S.S. Inc.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting emergency personnel and communities in times of need. As a 501(c)(3) charity, your donations are fully tax-deductible under U.S. federal law. Upon making a donation, we will provide you with a thank-you letter that serves as proof for tax purposes.
The mission of M.N.E.S.S. Inc. is to provide essential support to first responders such as firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, police officers, sheriffs, troopers, and other emergency personnel. We also assist civilian victims of emergencies and offer non-emergency services like canteen and rehab support during events such as Line of Duty Deaths (L.O.D.D.). Our services extend to the northern counties of Cook, Lake, and McHenry in Illinois, and we're available upon request in other areas too.
We operate two canteen-rehab vehicles, with a third currently being retrofitted. Additionally, we have a portable toilet trailer unit stationed at firehouses in the northern suburbs of Cook and Lake Counties. These resources allow us to serve hot and cold beverages, snacks, and meals at long-running emergency scenes, ensuring that first responders have access to nourishment and comfort.
Our portable toilets are especially important in today's world, where privacy can be a concern. Many first responders prefer not to use public restrooms due to the risk of being photographed and shared on social media. Our units help maintain dignity and privacy during long incidents, particularly for female personnel.
All our vehicles are staffed by dedicated volunteers who respond 24/7 to major incidents such as fires, hazardous material spills, floods, plane crashes, and more. We also assist with police operations like SWAT missions and active shooter situations when requested by local officials.
M.N.E.S.S. Inc. is entirely funded by donations from the community, local businesses, and the fire and police departments we serve. All contributions are tax-deductible, and we encourage anyone interested in supporting our cause to reach out via the contact information provided on our website.
Our expenses include vehicle maintenance, insurance, fuel, office supplies, and general operational costs. We rely on the generosity of our donors to keep our services running smoothly.
Previously known as Metropolitan Emergency Support Services Inc., M.N.E.S.S. Inc. was formed after the previous organization ceased operations during the pandemic. With a new management team and experienced volunteers, we've re-established this vital service for the community.
We are completely independent and have no affiliations with any other organizations. If you're over 20 and interested in volunteering with the fire service, please download our volunteer application from the "APPLICATION" page on our website.

Metro North Emergency Support Services Inc. is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) civic charity. We are launching a new emergency rehab-canteen service in the northern suburbs of Cook and Lake Counties, providing hydration and nutrition to first responders at both emergency and non-emergency scenes. This includes firefighters, EMS, police officers, sheriffs, troopers, and all federal, state, and local emergency agencies.
We are currently accepting applications for drivers and helpers who can respond to emergencies 24/7. We’re especially looking for those who are available during the day and night shifts!
Previously known as Metropolitan Emergency Support Services Inc. (M.E.S.S.), Metro North Emergency Support Services Inc. (M.N.E.S.S.) has NO affiliation with the dissolved M.E.S.S. corporation.
