We were overwhelmed with gratitude when the Mapes family contacted us about making a key donation towards the replacement of an aging ambulance. The service has experienced increasingly expensive repair costs the past two years and some reliability concerns with our two ambulances. When the Mapes Family found out, they didn’t hesitate to participate in our fundraising for a deposit on a replacement ambulance. For that our community and Stockton EMS is so grateful!

MAPES FAMILY DONATES TO THE
STOCKTON AMBULANCE COMMITTEE
STOCKTON, IL - The Stockton ambulance service gave the Mapes family thirteen more years with Marj after she had a cardiac arrest at 5:30 a.m. on Summit Street in Stockton, Illinois. Volunteer EMTs brought her back to life. She also has had several ambulance calls in her lifetime.
We are so fortunate to have an ambulance service in the Stockton community. There are so many lives over time that have been saved by having this service available for quick responces and not having to wait for an ambulance that may be 15 miles away.
We are thankful for all of the volunteers over the years that have come forward with their service.
Citizens of the Stockton community should be thankful for one of the most important services in our community and continue to support and donate towards the purchase of a new ambulance.
