Impact Partner: United Fire

Thursday, June 25, 2026

For more than 20 years, United Fire has been a proud partner of CCC, helping protect the people, properties, and programs that serve our community.

Our relationship with United Fire began more than two decades ago with portable fire extinguisher service and quickly expanded to include fire sprinkler and fire alarm inspections. As CCC has grown to more than 50 locations across the region, United Fire has grown alongside us. Today, they serve as our primary fire protection partner, performing annual inspections, testing, maintenance, and repairs across our portfolio of facilities. Beyond routine compliance, their team has become a trusted consultant and technical resource, helping us navigate complex fire protection challenges, code requirements, system upgrades, and long-term planning.

United Fire’s commitment to CCC extends beyond fire protection. For the past six years, they have also proudly supported our annual Compassion in Action luncheon.

The partnership between CCC and United Fire is built on a shared commitment to safety, reliability, and service. We are deeply grateful for their longstanding support and proud to work alongside an organization that not only helps protect our facilities but also invests in the well-being of our community. Their partnership helps us create safe, welcoming spaces where life-changing work can happen every day.

“Supporting Central City Concern for more than two decades has been one of the most meaningful partnerships in our company’s history. We’re grateful to play a part in protecting the people and programs that make their mission possible.”

-Jeff Wallace, Chief Executive Officer, United Fire
