Speculator Volunteer Ambulance Corps (SVAC) is a non-profit 501c(3) organization committed to providing essential emergency medical services, and we take immense pride in being 100% funded by the generosity of individuals like you.
At SVAC, we operate on a simple yet powerful principle: community care driven by volunteers. Every member of our team dedicates their time and skills without any financial compensation. We are a group of passionate individuals who believe in the importance of positively impacting our community’s well-being.
Without your generous donations, we would not be here, ready to respond to emergencies and serve those in need. We invite you to be a part of our story and to contribute to the heartbeat that keeps SVAC alive and thriving.
There are several ways you can contribute:
Make a donation: Your tax-deductible donation directly fuels our ability to provide critical emergency pre-hospital services. Twice a year, we reach out to our community through a direct mailing to raise funds. The responses to our fundraising letters make up the majority of our annual operating budget. Click here to join our fundraising mailing list. SVAC also gladly accepts one-time donations throughout the year. Donations via check can be sent to SVAC, PO Box 282, Speculator, NY 12164.
Take your returnable bottles and cans to our collection center: We have set up small sheds near the ambulance garage where people can donate their 5-cent returnable bottles and cans. Every small contribution adds up, and this initiative not only supports our budget but also promotes environmental responsibility.
Shop at and donate to Twigs: Twigs Treasures is a thrift store like no other. This not-for-profit establishment is on a mission to support health-based charities in southern Hamilton County.
