Scotch Plains Volunteer Rescue Squad’s 2025 Fall Appeal for Funding Is Underway
Help Us Continue To Help You, Your Family, and Your Neighbors AT NO COST

The Scotch Plains Volunteer Rescue Squad has mailed its 2025 fall appeal for funding, emphasizing the importance of the service the organization has been providing to local residents for over 88 years. Unlike many other ambulance services, the squad is 100% volunteer. Not one of our over 90 members is paid; we work for pride, not pay, so we NEVER bill for our services.
When one of our ambulances arrives at an emergency, highly trained and certified emergency medical technicians (EMTs) provide an exceptional level of care and compassion. Throughout the year, family members and friends write to thank us for being there when they needed us the most.
The volunteer squad uses 100% of your tax-deductible* donation to fully stock our ambulances with the most innovative equipment. Last year, a new, state-of-the-art ambulance was purchased to continue the tradition of extraordinary service. The organization also offers ongoing training and provides uniforms free of charge to our members.
