Tuesday Night - Gift Card drive for St. Malachi's to distribute to the affected families.
Dunwoody friends, as many of you might have heard via social media, on the news or perhaps you heard or felt the explosion, the Arrive Apartment Complex had a explosion today. Multiple units have been destroyed and neighboring buildings may have also been damaged.
At this point it looks like the residents impacted will be safely housed tonight, but the loss of their personal items is great. In order to address the immediate financial need to help support those affected in purchasing items to get through the short term recovery, we are holding a gift card drive.
Tuesday during our normal Malachi's Storehouse donation drop off, we will also be collecting gift cards to distribute to the affected families. We will be working with the apartment complex manager to distribute the gift cards to these families. Please see the information below for more details and thank you in advance for your caring and generosity. Dunwoody never ceases to amaze me in its support of each other - our hearts are full.
When: Tuesday, September 14 from 4-6pm
Where: Malachi's Storehouse at St. Patrick's Church (Across from the main entrance to Brook Run Park on North Peachtree)
What: Gift Cards in any amount: Target, Walmart, Visa, Krogers
A second collection site is SOHO Office next to the Kroger on Dunwoody Club and they will be collecting Monday through Friday between 9AM-6PM. The hope is to get the residents assistance ASAP, please try to donate by Tuesday night if you are able.
Sincerely yours,
Your Tuesday Malachi Volunteers

* We will not be collecting items for the residents. Due to the ranges of ages and needs, we understand that the most impactful help these residents can receive is in the form of gift cards.
