Connecting those who have lost so much with the kindness of others...

So many NJ EMS agencies have lost equipment, vehicles and buildings to Super Storm Sandy. As these agencies continue to rebuild, we are fortunate that so many have offered kind and inspirational words, while others have offered donations of equipment and supplies. If you like to volunteer or make a donation please go to www.ready.nj.gov or visit the National Donations Management Network.
