Home Lost to a Fire - Family Needs Help - Taghkanic Fire Company Offers a Way to Donate Needed Items

Joyce Thompson

The Ed Hull Family needs help.

The Taghkanic Fire Company and Nancy Griffith have a plan


This past Thursday morning one of the families in the neighboring Town of Gallatin lost their house and all their belongings. Taghkanic Fire Company was called for mutual aid with numerous other companies.


Below is a list of the items that the family is most in need of and Nancy will be at the Taghkanic Fire House, Old Rt 82, to receive items on:

· Tuesday, July 19 from 10 to noon

· Wednesday, July 20 from 10 to noon.


The family shops at all local stores, Walmart, Hannaford, Shoprite.


Nancy will deliver any items that might be so generously donated to the family Wednesday afternoon.


Thanks so much!

Just a recommendation to create and share a kickstarter. i'm sure a lot of people would like to help who don't have time to shop.
