Rep. Dykema Applauds Local Individuals and
Charities Reaching out to Tornado Victims
“I want to
commend Cherylann and all of the community members who are working
tirelessly to provide for those who have lost so much in the recent
disaster,” Representative Dykema said. “My thoughts are with everyone
who was affected by this storm. I have faith in the entire
Commonwealth’s ability to work together, rebuilding our communities.”
“We’re here to
provide support in any way we can,” Walsh said. “I really hope community
members take a moment to remember that there is always someone less
fortunate out there, and donating to PJB or another one of the groups
that has sprung up in the wake of these events is a small act that can
make a huge difference for families in the path of the tornado.”
PJB, a provider
for the Massachusetts 211 assistance program, provides support across
the state for residents in need, including those impacted by the
tornado. The project is currently in touch with victims in the area to
assess their needs. Walsh’s group is now accepting donations of goods,
funds and services for persons in need. It is not currently accepting
large furniture donations, but it does provide a forum connecting those
who wish to donate such items with those who are in need. Donations can
be made in person or on-line at
www.projectjustbecause.org
.
Local woman Laura
Sauriol is also running a Facebook page named “Monson Tornado Watch
2011” where those who want to help can find a list of needed items and
donation drop-off locations. The site can be found at
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_156032417796074
.
The Red Cross is
also accepting financial contributions for victims of this tornado and
extreme weather across the nation. Visit them on-line at
redcross.org or call
1-800-Red Cross to help.
Walsh can be
reached at
pjboffice@comcast.net or (508)
435-6511. Representative Dykema’s office can be reached at 617-722-2210.
Individuals and
families recovering from the storms are encouraged to visit one of the
three recently created Massachusetts Storm Assistance Centers in
Springfield, Palmer and Southbridge.

Further updates on the storm and its impact will follow as they become available later this evening.
