Financial Support
The squad is funded through two principal sources. The
largest single source of annual revenue comes from the residents and
businesses in Shrewsbury by way of the annual fund drive run by the
Squad each August. This direct mail appeal produces more than
one-half of the squad's required revenue. In addition, many
whom we directly serve during the year are gracious enough to send
us a gift in their name or that of a loved one. The squad
welcomes such contributions and has special programs and
recognitions in which donors may participate. Drop us a note
or contact one of our offices if you are interested in providing
special support.
The other source of revenue comes from the Borough of Shrewsbury
which offers financial support to the squad in three ways.
First and foremost, the Borough purchases the two ambulances used by
the Squad and provides insurance on the vehicles. Second, the
Borough supports a portion of the Squad's annual equipment
purchases, especially those related to maintaining the ambulances.
Third, the Borough pays for the utilities at the Squad building
including electricity, gas, water, telephone and sewer expenses.
Without financial support from the Borough, the Squad could not
continue to operate.
