Hello Massachusetts friends! This is Abby Marble.
I am starting a collection for the displaced homeless that are now inundating Boston. If you are following the story, it started with the condemnation of the bridge connecting Boston to it’s largest homeless and rehab facility in Boston on Long Island, an island in Boston Harbor. These folks were evacuated with no warning and now Boston is trying to figure out how to handle the additional 700 person demand on its current services. I’ve been in touch with the journalist who wrote the most recent article about the crisis. ( see below) The most critically needed items are listed below. I am hoping to make a large collection over the next few weeks and then bring them to the South End facility asap and as frequently as my storage fills up. Please consider helping by donating. You can either drop it off at my house (16 Pheasant Rd, Medfield) on the front porch or I can come and pick the item(s) up. Please consider helping out.
thank you! abby
