To our Members, Friends, and Neighbors,
Our town government and community volunteers are doing incredible work to make sure the most vulnerable in our community are cared for during this time of crisis, and they've found a way to do this while also supporting our local businesses who will undoubtedly struggle as a result of all of the necessary closures.
Please, if you are able, make a donation to the Ashland Emergency Fund. This is the best way to contribute safely and effectively. They will use these funds to purchase food from local businesses and distribute it to people in need.
There are two ways to donate to the Ashland Emergency Fund
The MetroWest Workers Center is providing Covid-19 Mutual Aid for Immigrant Neighbors, providing food and financial assistance to those who have lost their jobs and are unable to apply for unemployment benefits due to their immigration status. You can donate to their efforts here.
The Framingham Coronavirus Community Outreach was created to connect people who need help to people who can help. If you can contribute supplies, funds, or other aid this group can help you get your support to those who need it.
Please help where you can. And if you find yourself in need, please reach out to one of these groups, or to ashlanddems@gmail.com and we'll do everything we can to connect you to the support you need.
