Our story:

During the spring of 2018, we decided to restructure our organization and move from an all-volunteer team to primarily compensated staff to meet the growing needs of the community. With ever increasing demands from employers, family, being the primary care giver for aging parents or children, the free time people have available to volunteer has understandably dwindled over the years. However, we were committed to providing community based care avoiding impersonal for profit private contracted ambulance services.

We’re a non-profit organization and fund our program by billing health insurance and generous donations from the community without an additional burden on the township budget; a true win/win. We rely on donors to offset the costs of purchasing medical equipment, vehicle repairs, maintenance of our headquarters, and utility costs. A special thanks to the governing body of Lacey Township and the Lacey Township Office of Emergency Management for placing the community's trust in our hands and their support over the years.
