If you were a Manville Resident on August 31...

    

 PLEASE READ THIS...


In response to the extensive damage resulting from Hurricane Ida in early September, a number of individuals from across the country have donated money to VFW Post 2290 to assist with the cost of Shelter Operations and to assist the victims themselves. Additionally, on October 30th a Country Western Music Concert was held at Post 2290, the net proceeds of which will be added to the funds already donated to date.


These donations are a reflection of the willingness of our fellow Americans to assist our residents get back into their homes and their lives back to some semblance of normalcy. While every donation was very generous, because the storm impacted nearly 1,500 homes and many more individual families in the borough, the funds which will be distributed will not stretch to all families, and in most cases be limited to $100 to $500 gift cards.


As the custodians of these funds, VFW Post 2290, in consultation with a number of local organizations and agencies, has determined that the most equitable way to distribute these funds will be through a Lottery.
