| Dear Faith Community and I-HELP Partners:
The American Red Cross, Tempe Community Action Agency and the Salvation Army have been serving the families displaced by the fire on Tuesday.
At this time, the Salvation Army will be providing dinner tonight (Thursday) for the families.
NEEDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND: The families may need other food resources for about 30 people in the next couple of days and the contact for the complex is Daniel Eaton at 480-699-0490. Please call Daniel if you want to help. As with I-HELP the food must be ready to eat and snacks must be able to be stored in the heat.
Thank you to those congregations willing to open their doors at very short notice to meet the needs of the families involved! The majority of the families have housing or a place to stay through the weekend - many will need to find a new apartment.
Thank you for your assistance! We are learning and caring as we go with this diaster in our community and we will be talking about how we can better prepare at a future meeting. We will update you with any new information.
Please call me directly if you have any questions at 480-350-5883. Thanks, Beth
