Last week 30 Gardiner residents were displaced due to a fire in a 28-unit apartment on Highland Avenue. Efforts are now underway by the community to help the tenants who lived in the senior housing complex.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the fire. However, the displaced residents need to find a place to live, and they need help to start rebuilding their lives. That's where we can help.

Donations are now being accepted through a gofundme.com page and the money will be managed by the United Way of Kennebec Valley and a City of Gardiner committee. Please remember that all donations are tax deductible, as donations to the United Way of Kennebec Valley.

You can also donate cash or checks by dropping them off or mailing to:
United Way of Kennebec Valley
121 Commercial Street
Augusta, ME, 04330

Heather Pouliot of the United Way and Gardiner Mayor Thomas Harnett will join us Tuesday (Feb. 10) on the Morning Buzz with further information on how we can all help.
