Community unites to aid victims of South Otselic fire
SOUTH OTSELIC – The First Baptist Church of South Otselic and the Common Grounds Fellowship of Beaver Meadow have combined their efforts to bring relief to the families displaced by Sunday’s devastating fire in the “Cox block” building in South Otselic.
Through their concerted efforts, these two churches are hoping to collect both money and household item donations for the families that experienced loss this holiday season.
Mitch Mullenax, pastor at the Common Grounds Fellowship in Beaver Meadow, has set up an account to collect financial donations. Checks can be made payable to South Otselic Fire Relief and can be sent c/o The Common Grounds Fellowship, 112 Church St., Beaver Meadow NY, 13832.
In regards to the cash donations, Mullenax said, “One of the things we want people to know is that this fund is not being managed by one person, but by a group of people – including the fire chief – and that all gifts are tax deductible.”
Furthermore, Mullenax said, “When the fund is closed out, there will be a balance sheet available for public viewing that will show where the money came from and where the money went; all the money is going to be shared equitably with all the people who experienced loss.”
For tangible donations, Pastor Jim Moore is opening the doors of The First Baptist Church gymnasium in South Otselic. Moore said that they are in need of furniture, clothing for both children and adults, bedding, bathroom needs, and even toys for Christmas. It is stressed, however, that they are looking for donations that are usable and only “gently used.”
These donations may be dropped off at First Baptist Church gymnasium, located right next to the church at 130 county Road 13 in South Otselic – right next door to Gladding Braided Products.
Mullenax also said that they are planning a benefit dinner coming up very soon.
For more information regarding cash donations, interested persons may feel free to contact Mitch Mullenax at (315) 837-4673. For information regarding item donations, please contact Jim Moore at (315) 653-7875.
