~Cash or check donations can be sent to Our Lady of Fatima Parish Outreach at 10 Cottonwood Rd, Port Washington. They should be labeled "Fire" in the Memo section.
How to Help:
~Are you willing to house a family temporarily in your home? Do you have an apartment that a displaced family can live in temporarily? Or for reduced rent? Perhaps you're a realtor willing to help locate housing? Click here to let us know and we will try and match you with the right family in need.

Also needed are people who have large cars or trucks to help pick up and deliver furniture.
~Do you have any useful links or names of Facebook or Yahoo groups, or local charity drives, church or temple drives that are raising monies for the fire victims?
