CANDOR, NY – The Candor Emergency Squad is in need of help after a devastating financial year in 2020.
The emergency squad has been run as a volunteer service to the town of Candor and the surrounding area for nearly 6 decades. The squad is funded entirely by fundraising, donations, billing, and grants to support the EMTs and drivers. However, due to lack of volunteers, and the pandemic, the squad is struggling to make ends meet. They must now pay some drivers and EMTs.
While the squad has approached the town of Candor for financial aid, they are unable to help fund the service until 2022. In response to the squad's financial issues, a Go Fund Me page was started, seeking $250,000.
The squad is also seeking volunteer drivers and EMTs. Training to be on the Candor Emergency Squad is free, and if you are interested in joining, you can contact 607 659-5529 or click here.
