AED grant for shuls

The current federal and state grants for “security” do NOT authorize funding for emergency health care devices or services. Check with your local EMS or Hatzalah since they might be aware of any local programs offering financial assistance. However, the costs of defibrillators have come down substantially and a good quality “new” device can be purchased for only $1500 or $2,000 and a refurbished one for $1,000. This should be within the range of most shuls and shtieblach.

YES! There sure is, some grants for FREE AEDs, we believe that there are lots of generous people Willing to help you acquire an AED device, (Shuls are most of the time granted by their own Shull members – mispallelim) Please note that grants often change, and may no longer be a viable source of assistance,

Not every Shull have 20 people pony up 75 dollar and you are done, maybe it’s time to do a kind of a Citywide campaign so every Hemisha shull in the tristate, should have at least 1 AED, and a first aid box, (for ex. Tylenol, bandages, Bacitracin, Etc.,) Good idea, Hu? I’m ready to help in such a campaign,
If anyone wants to organize an AED drive should please message on the platform, and/or if anyone wants to be Menadev, should please message here,
Thank you all, Tizki L’mitsvos,

@commonsaychel. you are a small potato. if you know what I mean.

Yeah.
We should do an EAD Drive in BP first, let’s see how it goes, and we will take it from there to other Yiddish neighborhoods,
I’m sure Met Council or even Red Cross shall have such a Federal Grant for such kind of drive, the same as they did on Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Detectors, most people don’t even know that there exists such a grant, I called up Red Cross, they came 2 2 story apartment, they installed about outside of each room a detector free of charge,
