BLAST^ is responding to a local disaster. Last Saturday night, a major fire engulfed a local apartment building near Arapahoe and 55th. The building was occupied by Sudanese refugees and other elderly, disabled, or low-income residents.

In response, BLAST^ is donating:

$100 to Thistle Community Housing (a 501c(3) non-profit) for their emergency housing relief fund.

$100 to Lost Girls of Sudan (another tax-deductible non-profit) to empower them to help the critically burned refugees, and to help more Sudanese women.

DONATIONS NEEDED

Since in all likelihood nobody had renters insurance, several BLAST^ members are also individually donating household goods, and we'd like to encourage you to do the same. Here's what they need and where to bring it:

They need small kitchen appliances such as microwaves, blenders, & the like.

Also a need for new bedding, blankets, towels.

If anyone has these items to donate here is the location:
St Andrews Presbyterian Church
3700 Baseline, Boulder
M-F, 8am-4pm

They do NOT need clothes, they have lots of clothes dropped off already.

Donations Contact at Thistle: sandre@thistlehousing.org
