Early Friday morning, January 24, there was a devastating fire on Center Street. Thankfully all the people were able to get out safely, but the two families who lived there have lost everything. Everything.
One of the families has two boys in elementary school. They have a place to stay but they need Hoosick’s help, and help is what we do best. It’s what makes us such a great community.
[private]A fund for the fire victims has been set up at Trustco Bank on Main Street in Hoosick Falls. For those who would like to contribute, please make your checks out to the “Benefit Fund for the Isherwood/Hurlburt Families.” You can mail them to Trustco Bank or to HAYC3, P.O. Box 492, Hoosick Falls, NY, 12090.
HAYC3 is also accepting donations at the Youth Center for the family. Gift cards and donations will be the most helpful, so the family can purchase what they are most in need of. Call 686-9050 or email contacthayc3@gmail.com for more information or to inquire about donating specific items.
What an awesome community we have – so many people who care and want to help. In the Hoosick Community we may take it for granted, but not a lot of places are like this. Thank you, Hoosick Community, for being so special.
