Info from a city of Framingham press release:
Framingham-based non-profit organization Jewish Family Service is coordinating services for roughly 40 individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. They are currently housed at a Framingham hotel since last weekend.
Two Framingham Fire Stations – at 75 A Street and 10 Loring Drive – will continue to accept donation this weekend ONLY.
Drop off is between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Please do not drop off at other times.
Items needed are:
Cases/packs of bottled water
Cases of shelf-stable juice
Pedialyte
Shelf stable milk and/or powdered milk
Baby Wipes
Diapers (Size 4)
Pull ups (Size 4-5)
NEW socks and underwear in all sizes (toddler, child and adult)
Please do not drop off other items, only those listed.
Items dropped off may help asylum-seeking families throughout MetroWest, and not just the families in Framingham.
“By the time we dropped off the two truck-loads of donations today, we had another truck load waiting for us at the station,” said Assistant Fire Chief Schultz on Friday afternoon, according to a city press release.
Due to the generosity of the Framingham Community, Mayor Sisitsky has authorized Jewish Family Service to help other asylum-seeking families in need in MetroWest with the donations.
“Community borders do not matter - humanity does,” according to Mayor Sisitsky.
Community members can also make a donation to Jewish Family Service, a 50C13 organization so needed items can be purchased for the asylum-seeking families from Haiti: https://jfsofmetrowest.wufoo.com/forms/framingham-asylum-seekers-assistance-fund
