At Marine Park Civic Association recent meeting they presented FVAC with a donation check . Being a non profit volunteer agency,
FVAC depends on donations from the community to help keeps us going. We greatly appreciate Marine Park Civic Association’s past and present support.

Itty Bitty Adventures Preschool was teaching their classes about community helpers and vehicles.
Teachers reached out to FVAC and asked we could send a ambulance to the school.
On January 27th FVAC sent two ambulances with a crew for some good old fashion show and tell.
The crew spent time with two classes, giving them a hands on tour of our ambulance.
Experiences like this help enrich the students learning.
At the same time we hope that being familiar with an ambulance will lessen the fear if a student ever needs to be given care in the back of one.
Thank You to FVAC members Sal Caruso, Joe Auerbach, Stuie Weiselberg for volunteering for this event.
