Hurricane Sandy Donation Day

Continuing its efforts to support victims of Hurricane Sandy on the Jersey Shore, Mayor Joe Curtatone announced that the City of Somerville will host a “Donation Day” event on Monday, February 4th from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. at The Burren in Davis Square. City staff will be stationed in The Burren’s Back Room to collect donations, and will be available to speak with residents about issues related to City services. Donors will also be entered into a raffle for exciting prizes, including a New England Revolution Grand Prize Experience Package. Anyone interested in donating supplies may do so by visiting City Hall, the Police Station, or Library (main branch), or if you have school children, by dropping off supplies at schools. Please visit the City’s Web site, www.somervillema.gov, Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter (@SomervilleCity) for updates on the event and our donation drive!
