Over the weekend, fire destroyed the homes of approximately a dozen families at Fourth and Washington Streets in Troy. Several relief efforts now are underway to help the families, a non-profit, and the rescued animals.
Cash donations: http://www.gofundme.com/r9hj8y8r
Clothing: Please contact me (k.haynes@hvcc.edu) and I will send a list of sizes. New and/or gently-used clothing appreciated.
Household items also will be needed.
(A collection site has been established at the CYO, located at 237 Fourth Street, Troy. If you cannot get your donations to the CYO, please bring them to me the college and I will drop them off. I cannot take furniture or very large items.)
Can Stop Redemption, at 408 Washington St., in Troy is accepting can donations for the families.
Support the USA Track & Field Adirondack Association, whose office was destroyed, by donating to the sponsors of the Freihofer’s Run for Women (www.freihofersrun.com). Consider signing up for the race or other events it hosts.
