America Emergency Squad

Our annual fund drive mailer is officially out, and this year we’ve changed things up. Instead of the usual letter and return envelope, residents will receive a streamlined postcard that focuses on fast, secure online giving. The QR code on the card takes donors directly to our PayPal page for an easy, one-step way to support the Squad.

America Emergency Squad is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We receive only about 11 percent of our yearly operating budget from government sources. Most of our funding comes from billing for transports. Even with that, there is still a yearly gap between twenty and sixty thousand dollars that must be covered through fundraising and donations.

Our operating expenses increased by nearly eighty thousand dollars this year. These are the costs that keep ambulances staffed and ready twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.

If you receive the mailer, please take a moment to scan the QR code and support the Squad. Your donation directly supports emergency medical care in Mount Holly and Springfield Township.

If you do not receive the mailer and would still like to contribute, you can donate here:

Your support keeps us responding when your family needs us most.

This morning, members of America Emergency Squad attended the Joint Veterans Memorial Committee Veterans Day service in Mount Holly with EMT Mickey presenting the wreath on behalf of the Squad. It is important to pause and recognize the men and women who have served; whose courage, sacrifice, and commitment have shaped our community and our country.

We are deeply grateful to our veterans. Your service matters, and it is remembered.

A special thank you to Love in Flower for the beautiful wreath they created for us!

To all veterans; thank you. Today and every day.

Ambulance 5094 is at The Witches Bazaar and honestly, if EMT Bowmar is having this much fun, you’re missing out if you’re sitting at home!

(Don’t tell Mariah Carey that we’re still doing Halloween stuff. 🤫)

🚑👮 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

At 12:01 a.m. on November 1st, the America Emergency Squad, assisted by the Mount Holly Township Police Department - NJ, was dispatched to a report of a seasonal reanimation.

Officers arrived first and secured the scene after confirming the presence of a glowing containment chamber emitting faint holiday music.

EMS crews located a female subject, identified as Mariah Carey, in the process of awakening from seasonal hibernation. Vital signs were stable, with a strong vocal output of “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

Police maintained perimeter control while Squad members verified successful reanimation and cleared the scene without incident.

Residents are advised that the holiday season is now officially underway. Secure all Halloween decorations, stay hydrated, and limit exposure to shopping mall sound systems.

Due to a lapse in federal funding, many residents may experience delays in receiving SNAP (food assistance) benefits.

If this affects you or someone you know, there are local food pantries and meal programs ready to help.

The Food Bank of South Jersey has an updated map showing food pantries and meal sites across the region:

We’ve already gotten over $200 worth of stuff from our Amazon Wish List — snacks, drinks, supplies, and a few things to keep the crews comfortable during long shifts.

When EMT Bowmar saw all the snacks, she said,

“Why do we have so many snacks?”
We told her, “People donated them.”
She smiled and said, “That’s great! People are so nice!”

She’s right. You are.

Thank you to everyone who’s already helped out — it really does boost morale and keeps the crew going strong.
