Support Phase One of the ARES Trailer Today!
N5BRZ Cares is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to support local amateur radio emergency services. We are managed by a dedicated board of directors and composed of volunteers and supporters who share a commitment to public safety, emergency preparedness, and community resilience.
What We Do
We provide financial and logistical support to the Brazos County ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) group. This includes funding communications infrastructure, maintaining emergency equipment such as the ARES trailer, and supporting training and deployment readiness. Our work enables ARES volunteers to respond quickly and effectively during times of crisis.
Why It Matters
Reliable emergency communication can save lives. When traditional systems fail, amateur radio steps in. By backing ARES, N5BRZ Cares helps ensure that Brazos County is equipped with skilled operators and functional equipment—ready to assist first responders, hospitals, and the community when it matters most.

Help Us Keep Brazos County Connected
N5BRZ Cares exists to make sure Brazos County is never left without a voice. We provide resources, training, and equipment to support the unpaid volunteers of Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), who serve as a critical communications link when normal systems fail. These volunteers work side by side with first responders and emergency managers, ensuring that lifesaving information always gets through - whether during severe weather, natural disasters, or major community events.
Your donation empowers these volunteers with the tools they need to keep our county safe and connected. By supporting N5BRZ Cares, you are directly investing in neighbors who step up in times of crisis. Together, we can ensure this essential lifeline is always ready when Brazos County needs it most.
