Mannville Fire Relief Fund Established to Assist Families
Michelle Pinon - News Advertiser
A devastating residential fire that completely destroyed three homes in Mannville on May 11 has generated an outpouring of support from individuals and organizations in the community who are stepping up to help the families.
The Mannville Fire Relief Fund 2024 has been established and donations are being accepted at Confectionery 881, Mannville Cornerstone Co-op and the Mannville Branch of the Vermilion Credit Union until June 30.
Jim Storch said the community has been awesome in its support to date and there will be another opportunity to donate during the village-wide garage sale at the gazebo on Main Street on June 1. Val Mytz, board member with McQueen Memorial United Church, said they are in the beginning stages of planning a fundraising barbecue and currently looking for volunteers and donations to assist with the event.
Mytz commented that, “It is great to see that when a disaster happens, how we as a community can come together and help these three families as their lives have literally been turned upside down. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all.”
