Thanks to our amazing friends at the Great Neck Point Garden Club, we raised $2,639 from the May Plant Sale Fundraiser. We are so grateful for our community who came out in force to buy plants all morning long.

What were you doing at midnight?
Our volunteers were washing the ambulance after their shift—making sure it's clean, stocked, and ready for the next call. Just part of the job, even after hours.
Big thanks to the team that keeps us ready to roll! 💙🚑

Each time our volunteers leave the garage with an ambulance they pass this reminder. "Excellence Is My Responsibility". This applies to everything we do as first responders in the community.

Look at this enthusiasm from one of our interns, Marrissa S, as she thoroughly cleans the bunk rooms and day room. She swept, wiped the counters, and did laundry.
