Honoring Our Hometown Heroes

Native Land Cares Shows Appreciation to Local First Responders

At Native Land Cares, we believe that the people who dedicate their time and energy to helping others deserve to be recognized and celebrated.

This year, we were proud to host our Hometown Heroes Raffle as a small token of appreciation for the incredible volunteers who serve our local communities. We entered ambulance and fire departments throughout the area—from Manorville to North Patchogue and everywhere in between—to recognize the men and women who selflessly give their time to protect, assist, and save others.

Our local first responders are there when our communities need them most. Whether responding to an emergency, helping a family through a difficult moment, or simply being ready to answer the call at a moment’s notice, their dedication and commitment do not go unnoticed.

Congratulations to Mastic Ambulance!

After receiving entries from departments throughout our local area, the raffle was officially drawn on September 1, 2026.

We are thrilled to announce that Mastic Ambulance was selected as the winner of our $500 Native Land gift certificate!

Congratulations to the entire Mastic Ambulance team! We hope the gift certificate helped bring a little extra appreciation to your department just in time for Labor Day.

Thank You to All of Our Local Heroes

While there could only be one raffle winner, every department entered is a winner in our eyes.

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to every ambulance and fire department that participated. The work you do, the sacrifices you make, and the countless hours you volunteer to help others make an immeasurable difference in our communities.

At Native Land Cares, we are proud to shine a light on the remarkable individuals who willingly volunteer their time to help and save others. Your courage, compassion, and commitment are truly inspiring.

Thank you for answering the call.

Thank you for being there when our communities need you.

And most importantly, thank you for all that you do.

From everyone at Native Land Cares, we appreciate you, we support you, and we are grateful to have such dedicated hometown heroes serving our communities.
