Bringing Community Together: First Responders, Flag Football, and Family Fun at Delaware County’s Biggest Event

Welcome to the very first episode of The Rescue Room, presented by SERVPRO of Delaware, OH and Nissan North Columbus! I’m your host, Hattie Hawks, and I couldn’t be more excited to kick off this journey with you. This podcast is all about real stories, real challenges, and genuine support for our community’s everyday heroes—our first responders.

In this debut episode, I’m joined by some incredible guests from Nissan North, SERVPRO of Delaware, Ohio, and KidsLinked. Together, we talk about what it truly means to stand behind our frontline workers. We share personal connections, discuss the power of community, and talk about the difference it makes when we all pitch in.

You’ll hear stories close to my heart—like how we helped send a local student to college with a scholarship, raised thousands for first responders, and built Delaware County’s biggest family-centered event. And yes, we sprinkle in some friendly firehouse rivalry and a lot of laughter along the way!

For me, it’s all about celebrating resilience, connection, and the way we all show up for each other. If you’re looking for inspiration, ideas on how to support our heroes, or just a feel-good reminder of the good in our world, you’re in the right place. I can’t wait for you to listen—and maybe, join us at the next big community event.
