Councilman David Greenfield has secured $300,000 in city funding for Hatzolah to purchase new ambulances.

“Hatzolah is a truly remarkable organization,” Greenfield said. “It’s a worldwide community service organization that does outstanding work wherever it operates, and it all started right here in Brooklyn. I’m thrilled that I was able to fund them again this year.”
