As many of you know, there was a fire at the
Rolling Green Apartments earlier this week. In that fire, families with
students at Amherst Regional Middle School (ARMS), Fort River School and
Crocker Farm School lost everything they owned. The ARPS community is
organizing support for the families and we will let you know about these
efforts as they develop. We assume that at some point in the near future there
will be an opportunity for families to provide clothing, furniture, and other
household items the families need.
At this time the most immediate way we can help is with money in the form of personal checks or in the form of gift cards to help the families purchase essentials.
Checks: Please write out your personal check to: Rolling Green Fire Fund and send/bring to Florence Savings Bank, 385 College St., Amherst, MA.
Gift Cards: Please drop off at your school’s main office, or send in with your student, a store gift card from any local grocery or department store. Gift cards will allow these families to immediately purchase clothing, personal hygiene items, and food. Your student should bring these gift cards to his or her advisor at the Middle School or to the Main Office at Fort River and Crocker Farm. We will distribute the funds and the gift cards to the families to help them meet their needs.
Thank you for your support and generosity, ARPS staff
