Fire Devastates Families in Dundalk's Colgate Community

Dundalk families need help. Colgate Improvement Association is taking donations of Money, Food, Clothing, Furnature, and Housing .

Baltimore County Fire and Police responded to a three-alarm fire located on Wynbrook Road of Dundalk's Colgate Community. So far, only one family carried insurance that we know of and two of the homes were a total loss. One of the families has two sets of twins and an autistic child that requires constant care. Since the fire interruped her routine, she is in a panic. Our concern is food, clothing, furniture, and housing.

The Colgate Improvement Association is reaching out to the Dundalk Community for help. If you have a space these folks can rent, please contact us at 410-929-8265. Colgate Improvement Assocaiton has started an emergency relief fund for the victims. If you would like to donate, please send donations to PO BOX 25776, Baltimore MD 21224. Be sure to put "FIRE RELIEF" in the Memo.

We need all the help we can get so that these families can get back to normal lives as soon as possible. Every cent helps!
