Urgent SHIP Help Needed

September 7, 2011

SHIP (Samaritan Homeless Interim Program) HQ in Somerville was flooded during the hurricane and lost all of the supplies they store in the basement (everything contaminated) as well as some of their food pantry on the first floor (first 4 feet high totally destroyed).

They are in need of new clothing: socks, underwear, pants, shirts; and also canned goods and toiletries that they hand out to the needy that come to SHIP for assistance on a daily basis.

If you can help call SHIP at 908-393-9545 and leave a message as the phone system was also knocked out.

Tom O'Leary, SHIP's Captain, can retrieve the messages from his computer and return your call by cell.
