Pit Stop to Hold Benefit Tonight for Survivors of Last Week’s Fire

Last Thursday when the we watched, we worried, we saw the pictures, we read about it, perhaps we watched the posted videos. But Matt Brown, Josh Hathaway and Sean Chalifoux lost everything they owned.

Tonight their friends and community members are coming together at the to raise money and get them the clothing and basics they need to begin putting their lives back together.

Brown had been renting the house for the last two years and Hathaway and Chalifoux recently moved in. All three men lost all of their possessions, but were grateful to escape with their lives and all their animals’ lives in tact.

The three-alarm fire benefit and clothing drive will feature over six live bands including: Nina Violet, Sabrina & The Groovers, The Hammerheads, Kent Riley & Associates, The Bad Ashes, Good Night Louise, Spirit Sister, Jellybone Rivers, Dj Di and more.

There is a suggested donation of $10 – though those wishing to give more may certainly do so.

Clothing and bedding donations will also be gratefully accepted.

Most needed items are:

New packaged socks

Men's size XL shirts,

Men’s pants sized: 34w34l/38w32l/34-36w32l

Shoes sized: 11, 12 and 13 shoes

New stuff is great, but they’ll take clean and good condition used items as well.

The event is open to all ages and no alcohol will be served. However, BYOB is allowed and bringing a prepared dish, snack or beverage to share is also appreciated.

If you are unable to attend the event but want to contribute, you can make a donation to the JMS RESTART FUND at MV SAVINGS BANK. Also, you can bring clothing and bedding donations to the Pit Stop anytime.

The 3 Alarm Benefit and Clothing Drive takes place at the Pit Stop Workshop tonight, March 15. Doors open at 5 pm.
