Please help our neighbors in need UPDATED 6/27/18

The flood from last week hit home. The woman who was swept away by flood waters was a friend of the family. The kind women from Upper St. Clair have gotten together to help out the Abbott family, offering to do errands and cook meals. Restaurants are offering free meals to flood victims.




An update from Bridgeville Manager was posted on the Bridgeville Police Department Facebook page.



I reached out to the Bridgeville police department and got this response. "First United Methodist Church in Bridgeville is the central point for donations other than food (which would go to Bethany Presby). We also have people going directly to the major affected areas of Baldwin St, McLaughlin Run Rd, Railroad St and Maple St and Laurel St. Thanks again. Every bit is appreciated."

What is Mt. Lebanon doing? Mt. Lebanon Magazine is asking for help. They want photos of flood damage. Why should I expect anything else?

I just came back from the First United Methodist Church. It is located behind the Bridgeville Post Office. Since I had to put down my dog last week, I donated his food, toys, and crate. I also had towels and sheets to donate. They are taking ANYTHING non-food. The American Red Cross was there when I got there.

Please help our neighbors in Bridgeville.

Thanks.
