The squad
The New Providence Volunteer Rescue Squad has been providing free emergency medical care to the community since its inception in 1952. To this day, we have not billed a single patient for the care we provided to them. We are supported solely from your generous donations. Without the donations and support of the community, we would not exist today.
All donations are tax-deductible, as we are a IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We do not receive any money from the Borough of New Providence; therefore fund-raising is a year-long event for us.
Donations can be made by Mail to-
New Providence Rescue Squad,
7 Academy St, New Providence, NJ 07974
Telephone- 908 464 1804
None of our members receive any payment for their time donated to the community.
Any amount will help, and all donors receive a tax-deductible receipt.
