It’s pretty much impossible to thank our first responders enough for everything they do to keep us safe. But we can all agree that first responder freebies are a good start.

Luckily, a lot of healthcare worker discounts also apply to first responders. Plus, there are lots of deals available on National First Responders Day (Oct. 28) and year-round.

Firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians can access these perks with their work IDs in person, or get SheerID, ID.me, or VerifyPass verification discounts online.

These freebies and savings include things like free food and discounts on clothing, cosmetics, and home goods.
