The devastating fire that occurred in the Lanark Village area on Saturday, Oct 9 has left five homeless and in desperate need of assistance.The early morning blaze consumed everything in its path before being extinguished by the fire department and rendered the apartment units once used as barracks during World War II uninhabitable.
Since the fire the American Legion Post #82 has collected funds to aid the victims and some emergency monies from the Red Cross have been given - however more support is needed to help the victim’s overcome their losses.
An account has been established at Gulf State Community Bank for anyone wishing to contribute a tax deductible donation.
To do so just stop by one of the conveniently located bank branches and tell one of the customer service representatives that you would like to donate to the Lanark Village Fire Fund.
