Bed Stuy Bklyn Bedford Stuyvesant Lions Club
Your contribution to help keep them alive has now paid off.
The Bed-Stuy Volunteer Ambulance Corps has officially taken ownership of its longtime headquarters on Greene Avenue.
After three decades of month-to-month leases, the Bed-Stuy Volunteer Ambulance Corps has taken permanent ownership of its Greene Avenue headquarters.
New York City officially conveyed three plots of formerly city-owned land to the org this week, the culmination of years of work by local officials and BSVAC leaders. The transfer ensures BSVAC has a permanent home in Bed-Stuy and sets the stage for a long-planned expansion of its services and programs.
“Today marks the completion of the crucial first step in a dream that originated with BSVAC’s founders, the late EMS Captain James ‘Rocky’ Robinson and retired EMS Specialist Joe Perez,” said BSVAC president Antoine Robinson, in a statement. “Their dream of building a permanent headquarters in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood has inspired BSVAC’s volunteers for almost 40 years.”
We are part of history being made. CONGRATULATIONS TO BEDSTUY LIONS!!!!!!!!!!
We roar, we serve, we progress!
Past President Lion Lottie Shannon,
