Community Request for Thanksgiving Apartment fire:
On Thanksgiving Day, there was a fire on N 1st Street in Bangor. The tenants are currently displaced from their rental units. Due to the quick response of the local fire departments, it is likely that three will be deemed habitable however most things are smoky and some are wet. While most are single occupancy, there was a family of 3 living in one.
A Clean Slate (118 S 1st Street Bangor) starting Monday is collecting gift cards (grocery, Amazon, and gas), rolls of quarters and detergent, (for laundry) to help offset the loss of items. Jana, the Executive Director, will be splitting the items dependent on the needs of the tenants.
If you can get out but want to support them, Venmo donations can be sent to -morrissarnowski with the info line “thanksgiving fire.” Any questions please PM me. I hope you have a peaceful and serene holiday season!
