RCAAN Helps Green-Baxter Fire Victims with Storage Fee
 
 
Joan Doughty, executive director of Community Action Network at Green-Baxter Court, visited our meeting with a special request on behalf of the six GBC families who were left homeless by Tuesday’s early morning fire.  She asked us to provide funds for storage units so the families who have items to store can keep their belongings safe until they find new housing. They are eligible for public housing, but there are no public housing units available right now. (The American Red Cross is providing temporary housing at Extended Stay America.)
 
President Keith Krings and Past President Laura Van Steenis are working with Joan and the folks at GBC to see what else they will need going forward. One of the families we “adopted” at Christmastime has been left homeless because of the fire, and the presents we gave them were destroyed.  Stay tuned for more information about how we can help.
 
If you can help please contact a RCAAN member.
