​​Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

​Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
One of the best ways to get involved is in your own community. 

There are several ways you can get involved and give back with Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad.
Donate​
Monetary Gifts. 
Your gift will provide needed medical supplies and equipment to the community. We are a non-profit and do not bill for care or supplies used. Our volunteers train, certify, and maintain their skills in their own time. They are not compensated. It could be you, your neighbor, or your loved one calling for help.  You can ensure we have the right equipment for the emergency.
  • Cash, Checks & Credit Card
  • Monthly giving adds up.
  • Planned Giving from an estate or will.
  • All donations are tax deductible.
