As many of you may be aware, a recent fire on Richardson Street severely impacted a Woodville family.  The Hernandez family, whose rented apartment was destroyed in that fire nearly a month ago, lost everything they owned and have been living in a shared room at the Lord Wakefield Motel.  With only a small refrigerator for a few basic items and a microwave oven, this family of five has been dining on heat-and-serve meals or inexpensive fast food.  Not being able to cook for her family is something that Mrs. Hernandez misses terribly and the family is in desperate need of nutritious, home cooked meals.

A town-wide effort is underway to aid the Hernandez family with rebuilding their lives, but their need for healthy meals is immediate and can go a long way in relieving at least one burden for them during this difficult time.  We are putting together a meal schedule, starting on Monday, 5/17, and are asking the entire Woodville community for their help.  If you’d like to help by donating a meal, please contact Kim Margolis at kim_margolis@yahoo.com or (781) 245-0821.
