Jewish Volunteer Ambulance Corps Inc

JVAC Naples is a 501(c)(3) faithed based 100% volunteer Jewish ambulance corps, licensed by the Florida Department of Health to provide emergency BLS and ALS transport in Naples, FL. We have the mission, the commitment, and a growing team of volunteers.

But we can’t respond until we’re all trained and equipped.

As hurricane season begins, we urgently need to raise $15,000 to train our responders and provide the essential medical gear they need to save lives.

Why It Matters

Without your support and proper supplies, JVAC can’t:

-Certify and Train volunteers in Emergency Medical Services, CPR, First Aid, and JVAC operations

-Deploy trauma kits, radios, AEDs, and protective gear

-Safely support synagogues, community events, and disaster response

-Perform proper welfare checks during times of need

-Assist the Naples Jewish community and greater Collier County in times of crisis

We’re ready to serve. We just need the training and tools.

Why JVAC?

We’re part of the larger Jewish Volunteer Ambulance Corps network.

We operate 100% on donations and volunteer service — no salaries, no billing.

Every dollar goes directly to building our life-saving capacity.

How Your Gift Helps

$50 covers protective gear for a responder

$100 pays for CPR and First Aid certification

$250 buys a complete trauma bag

$500 fully trains and equips one volunteer

Vehicle Donation or Sponsorship

We are currently using a loaned vehicle and hope to secure a dedicated emergency response SUV in the next phase.

If you or your organization would like to donate a vehicle or sponsor one financially, we will proudly recognize your contribution with a permanent decal:

“Donated by / In Memory of [Name or Organization]”

Please contact us directly if you're interested in this opportunity to leave a lasting impact.

✡️ Why We Serve

"Pikuach Nefesh" — the principle that saving a life overrides almost every other Jewish commandment.

This is our community. These are our neighbors.

At JVAC, we don’t wait — we act.

Help Us Be Ready

Your donation today trains the next responder and places life-saving gear in their hands.

Please give, share, and help JVAC Naples answer the call — before the storm.

Note: GoFundMe adds a tip by default to support their platform. You can adjust this to $0 at checkout if you prefer.
