About CHAVARIM OF THE FIVE TOWNS & ROCKAWAY INC

Chaverim of the Five Towns & Rockaway Inc is a volunteer-run community emergency services group based in Far Rockaway, NY that responds to non-medical emergencies for motorists and residents. The organization operates a 24-hour hotline and mobilizes volunteer teams to provide roadside assistance (flat repairs, jumpstarts, boosts, out-of-gas deliveries), car and home lockout help, vehicle recovery from sand or difficult terrain, and other practical community support. Chaverim has grown from a small local initiative into a regionally recognized volunteer service that fields thousands of calls annually, partnering informally with local public-safety agencies and community organizations to expand reach and improve response times. The group is donor-facing, maintains an active website and donation portal, and runs community-safety programs such as defensive driving workshops and car-seat safety checks in recent years.
