Happy EMS Week 2022!!!!
Established in 1974 by President Gerald Ford, every May, Public Servants are recognized for the hard work and sacrifice to the communities they serve. May 15 thru May 21, 2022 is EMS Week.
The 2022 EMS Week theme: "Rising to the Challenge." This theme is particularly meaningful now, to remind people that every day we are still there to respond, support, and care for the needs of our communities.
The Officers and Members of Lindenwood VAC wish our brothers and sisters in the Emergency Medical Services field a very happy EMS week!
There is no better time to support EMS in your community than NOW! There are many ways to help!
1.) Donate your time or services - Lindenwood VAC is always looking for volunteers. No experience is needed. However, you must be a US Citizen / Resident over 18 years of age. We are also looking for those who would donate their services (any of the skilled trades, or small business owners) contact membership@lvac.net for more information
2.) Donate Money! Yes, we are volunteer and no one including the executive staff gets paid, however supplies, utilities, fuel and other maintenance costs are still a real factor in our operation. We receive no TAX base from NYC (besides small digressionary grants from our elected officials) 100% of your donation goes into operation costs and we are an IRS registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Its easy to donate thru PayPal:
