JACOB'S KIT

JACOB'S KIT – Bleeding Control Kit Built to Save Lives

The JACOB Kit is more than a bleeding control kit — it’s a mission. It was created in honor of 6-year-old Jacob Hall from Townville, South Carolina, who was tragically wounded in a school shooting in 2016. Though Jacob survived the scene and emergency response, he passed away days later due to blood loss. His story sparked a movement: a commitment to ensure every school and public building is prepared to stop traumatic bleeding and protect lives.

First launched by the Townville area fire district in 2017, the JACOB Kit program quickly gained momentum. Schools, government buildings, and community organizations across the county, state, and nation have embraced the initiative — recognizing how critical immediate bleeding control can be before first responders arrive.

Today, the goal remains the same: empower staff, teachers, and bystanders with the tools needed to act fast, stay calm, and save a life.

Why the JACOB Kit Matters

• Rapid Response Preparedness
Severe bleeding can become life-threatening in minutes. Having a kit within reach ensures life-saving tools are accessible when every second counts.

• Designed for Schools & Public Spaces
This kit is purpose-built for classrooms, cafeterias, gyms, worship centers, offices — any place people gather.

• Honors a Life That Inspired Change
Each JACOB Kit stands as a reminder of Jacob and the importance of protecting our communities.
