A Call for Support for Those Affected by the Merrimack Valley Explosions

I am writing to let you know that a community member (staff in my department) is from Lawrence and has family living in one of the neighborhoods impacted by the series of explosions last week. I wanted to reach out on her behalf to see if we could encourage folks, if they’re able, to donate to two organizations helping folks in her community rebuild:

The Lawrence Emergency Fund

or

Groundwork Lawerence
