Salvation Army "accepting everything but furniture" for those displaced by West Philly fire
CP roots music maven Mary Armstrong reports that she has confirmed with the West Philadelphia branch of the Salvation Army that they are "accepting everything but furniture" for the at least 100 people who've been left homeless in the wake of the massive, 5-alarm apartment fire at 48th and Walnut last night.
According to Armstrong, "I was burned out 30 years ago and I'm still crying for these people â it's an experience like no other."
The Salvation Army is at 5501 Market, is open 9-4, Monday through Friday (but will be closed this coming Monday) and can be reached at 215-474-1010. According to a person at the Salvation Army, the best way to bring stuff in is to use the building's Arch Street entrance at 55th.
So before you run out to buy eggs, milk and bread you probably won't really need, consider making a donation for people who've just lost everything.

Local 44 says they've got plenty of clothing for the needy, who should come on by. Quoting their e-blast here: Dear amazing Local 44 community! HOLY MOLY we are overwhelmed with donations for the clothing drive and cannot accept any more! PLEASE let anyone you know who finds themselves in need to come on over with a bag and take clothing from our now teeming piles. Thank you sincerely for the overwhelming response to our call to arms! Love, The Local 44 Clothes Sorting Team **** That's going on right now at northeast corner of 44th and Spruce.
