HALFMOON – After The Fire, a nonprofit organization that helps Saratoga County residents who have suffered losses from fires, ended 2017 with generous donations.
In December, the group received $1,000 from the Adirondack Trust Community Fund and $2,000 from the Global Foundries-Town of Malta Foundation Board; another $70 was received in the name of Kim Galvin from the New York Board of Elections.
After The Fire provides family members with gift cards, clothing, personal care items, Red Cross referrals, a night's stay at a participating hotel or motel, and informational material. The group exists because of donations and is comprised entirely of much-needed volunteers.
Meetings will be held at 7 p.m. at Eagle Matt Lee firehouse on Washington Street in Ballston Spa on the fourth Tuesday in February, March, October and November. In April, May, June and September the group meets at Halfmoon Town Hall on Lower Newtown Road in Halfmoon.
Anyone interested in becoming a member or learning more about After The Fire may attend a meeting, leave a message at 518-435-4571 or visit www.afterthefire.org.
