Donate Toys or Dollars to Santa in an Ambulance
to Help Dorchester County Pediatric Patients This Holiday Season

Throughout the year, Dorchester County EMS has transported several critically injured/sick pediatric patients.

This holiday season, for the 9th year, the Santa in an Ambulance program, gives Dorchester County Emergency Medical Services the opportunity to check in on their patients while providing holiday cheer alongside the big guy himself, Santa!

The Santa in an Ambulance program is funded 100% by monetary and toy donations. All monetary donations are used by Santa’s EMS Elves to purchase and wrap gifts for each of the patients. New, unwrapped toys can also be donated and dropped off at the Dorchester County EMS Headquarters.

Monetary donations can be made via a check made payable to Dorchester County EMS (please include Santa in an Ambulance on the memo line) and mailed to:

Santa in an Ambulance
C/O Dorchester County EMS
821 West 5th North St.
Summerville, SC 29483

Santa and Dorchester County EMS members will deliver the gifts on Friday, Dec. 22.
