The Neighbors across the street had an apartment fire. Several clients have asked how they can support the residents. Here is what I found out.

GIFT CARDS NEEDED FOR DISPLACED MONONA HILLS RESIDENTS
Early Saturday morning there was a major fire at the Monona Hills apartments and all of the residents have been displaced. Many residents fled with just the pajamas on their back leaving behind their purse, wallet, phone, medications, and much more. NewBridge is working alongside the Meridian Group and the American Red Cross at an emergency shelter at St. Stephen’s Church to provide services.
The shelter currently has food, bedding, temporary clothing, toiletries, and other very basic essentials. However, NewBridge is working with residents to connect them with additional resources.
Residents are in need of gift cards and gas cards to cover their other needs.
Community members wishing to support the displaced residents can provide various gift cards (Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Kwik Trip, etc) in small increments of $25 would be much appreciated.
Gift cards can be dropped at the following locations:
- NewBridge office - 1625 Northport Dr, #125, Madison, WI 53704
- NewBridge office - 5724 Raymond Dr., Madison, WI 53711
- Monona Senior Center - 1011 Nichols Rd, Monona, WI 53716
We will have a gift card box at Balancing Meridians and I will be making weekly drop offs to the Monona Senior Center.
