The Cannon County Rescue Squad, Inc. (CCRS) announced today it has been named a “2021 Top-Rated Nonprofit” by GreatNonprofits, the leading provider of user reviews of charities and nonprofits. This is the second year in a row that the Rescue Squad has been recognized as a Top-Rated Nonprofit.
CCRS provides volunteer emergency rescue services that include vehicle rescue and extrication (i.e. Jaws-of-Life), water rescue, land search and rescue, life-treating animal rescues, technical rescue, confined space/cave rescue, farm rescue, disaster response, adverse weather response, community awareness projects, and emergency service training. These services are provided by an all-volunteer team, made up of members of our community.
“We are honored to be named a Top-Rated Nonprofit again for 2021,” says Tim Bell, Chief Operating Officer for CCRS. “We are proud of our accomplishments this year, including the purchase of next generation battery-powered rescue tools, increasing our disaster response capabilities, improving our emergency communications technologies, and placing on order for a new rescue truck for the community. This would not be possible without the men and women that volunteer their time to help others in need. Improving our equipment capabilities comes from donations, foundation grants, fundraising, and local community support.”
The Top-Rated Nonprofit Award is based on the rating and number of reviews that CCRS received from donors and members of the public. One reviewer had this to say: “The Cannon County Rescue Squad always goes above and beyond for the citizens of Cannon County. Whether it is helping our neighbors in need or serving at community events, the Cannon County Rescue Squad is always ready to assist. Cannon County is truly blessed to have these men and women that serve our community.”
