“What you and the people you are working with have done has made all the difference for me accepting what has happened and moving on to adjusting after the fire.” - McMullan Manor resident
Southern Frontenac Community Services would like to thank everyone for your overwhelming support of the emergency response efforts for last month’s McMullen Manor fire in Verona. So many people and organizations banded together to help the displaced residents who lost everything they had in the devastating fire.
We are thankful that everyone got out of the building and that no one was hurt. Our gratitude and appreciation goes out to our Firefighters for their courage and commitment in serving our community.
We worked together with Kingston & Frontenac Housing Corporation, the Verona Community Association, Verona Free Methodist Church, the Verona Lions Club and the many, many volunteers and donors who gave their time, money and resources to help. This is an amazing community of people who care, and the compassion and kindness you’ve shown is an inspiration to us all.
We are happy to share that the residents have settled into their new places and are doing well. With your help they have furniture, bedding, clothing, dishware, pots and pans, towels, carpets, curtains, lamps, pillows. All of the things that make a home comfortable. Residents would like to convey their thanks for your support. We hope that the efforts of everyone who pitched in helps people recover from this traumatic event.
