The mission of the QRU Nonprofit Organization is to create awareness of the need for support and unite Southern Idaho in support of and funding of all our rural emergency
responders organizations.

The majority of these men and women work on a volunteer basis while purchasing many of their much needed supplies and training using their own personal funds.  They use their own vehicles a lot of the time and leave their “day jobs” to respond to emergencies as they arise.  The QRU teams are the first line of response to many of our outdoor enthusiast activity areas and are oftentimes behind the scenes of appreciation.  Injuries or accidents suffered by outdoor enthusiasts and travelers on rural highways and roads often occur in areas far from a local hospital and emergency services.  Without these units being available in rural areas, response from an emergency team could take over an hour or more.
