Aid hotline available for Boardwalk fire victims
A hotline has been set up to help people displaced by Boardwalk Apartments fire.
“We need to hear from the victims,” said Steve Ozark, a spokesman for the Lawrence Community Interfaith Initiative. “We’ve been offered a lot of items and we have trucks lined up to get it delivered; now we need to know where to take it and when.”
The Lawrence Community Interfaith Initiative hotline is 842-7618, or you can send information by e-mail to pgriffith@sunflower.com.
“We prefer e-mail if at all possible. It makes things go a lot smoother,” said Mark Griffith, a member of the Greater Lawrence Christian Men’s Association.
“We need name, address, phone number, specific needs and verification that they were affected by the fire,” Griffith said.
Victims also may come to the Leo Center storage facility from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday to pick up donated items. The facility is north of the railroad tracks at Seventh and New York streets.
