2020 Annual Fund Drive

Dear Neighbors and Friends,

When someone in your community needs urgent medical treatment, emergency rescue, or rapid and safe hospital transit, South Branch Emergency Services now answer the call.

South Branch Emergency Services was created by the merger of two long-serving emergency service organizations: Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad and High Bridge Emergency Squad.  Research convinced leaders of both founding organizations and a Steering Committee of residents, business owners, and elected officials from both communities that a merger would yield quicker response times and other efficiencies.  The committee provided planning and guidance that resulted in the new South Branch Emergency Services (SBES), which launched July 1st.  SBES services the same northern areas of Hunterdon County that the two former organizations did: the Town of Clinton, Clinton Township, High Bridge, Lebanon Borough and parts of Franklin, Bethlehem and Union Townships.

Once a year, we ask you to help us continue this tradition of excellence.  Our ability to maintain our high level of training and a safe, well-equipped fleet of emergency vehicles is a direct result of your generous support.

Reasons to give:

• We are a volunteer governed, 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization; your donations are tax-deductible
• Between training and being on call for emergencies, our volunteer members contribute over 30,000 hours of their time each year.  Even at the minimum wage, that's equivalent to over $250,000 donated!

• Last year, we answered more that 4,000 calls in an average of less than 7 minutes (well under the generally held national standard of 8 minutes)?  Please contribute what you can, which you can mail to:
