Due to the volunteer nature of the organization, the members have a vast diversity of personal skills and training which benefit those they serve. Volunteers are welcome. The First Aid Squad was founded in 1939 by six members. Until 1948 the ambulance was housed in the fire station, then with donated time and materials the members built their present building. There are currently 32 members that answer an average of 400 calls per year.
Volunteers are always welcome.
The Garwood Public Library celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 1993. In 1894 the Post Office was started in a corner of the railroad station with Leonard G. Cohen as the first Postmaster. In 1910 the volume of business necessitated changing to a building on North Avenue just east of Center Street. Since that time the office moved to the Silberg Building on South Avenue and then to its present location at 202 Center Street. In 1924 free delivery was instituted.
