Urgent need for volunteers to build sandbags to prevent further flooding

As you may know, Massachusetts has declared a state of emergency from the flooding caused by recent and continuing rain. Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is looking for able-bodied volunteers for immediate assistance to build sandbags in Lexington and possible other locations throughout Massachusetts.

Volunteers are needed immediately, and it is anticipated that the need will continue throughout the day tomorrow. Volunteers are asked to dress in warm work clothes that can get dirty, wear work gloves, and bring any water or snacks that they need to stay warm and hydrated.

If you are interested in volunteering please call Bill Driscoll at 508.820.1403 for further instructions on meeting locations.

Thank you for supporting our communities and neighbors during this time!
