Help Displaced Residents - 275 Northfield, WO, NJ

So many of our friends and neighbors continue to be impacted by damage inflicted by Hurricane Ida on our community, relying on relatives and friends to bridge gaps left in the aftermath. As you may know, the storm and landslide above the apartments at 275 Northfield Ave caused those structures to be deemed unsafe and more than 40 families are now displaced after they were evacuated earlier this week. Those families now face a long road to finding suitable long term living arrangements and in the meantime, must cover extraordinary expenses that they usually would not incur. They are living in hotels at the moment and our town, including our municipal government, local religious institutions, and residents are all working very hard to help them through.

We have residents starting up meal services, displaced residents are applying for FEMA funding, school administrators are making sure that our students are looked after, senior services are checking on seniors who are now displaced from their apartments, and lots of folks pitching in to help, but funds are running low. We need donations to help our residents bridge the gap and get into new apartments as quickly as possible. Let’s come together and help them through. Let’s show them that they are not alone and that we are here to support them. Please give what you can so we can provide meals and cover incidental expenses that our neighbors may incur.
