Relief
Effort Donations Needed
in Time for the Holidays
Hollywood,
MD – Burch Oil
is coordinating a Hurricane Sandy Relief Effort for our neighbors in Crisfield,
Maryland in time for the holidays. The truck is scheduled to head over to the
Eastern Shore on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Having taken quite a hit
during the late October superstorm, the community finds itself in serious
disrepair and in need of help.
“We recently learned of Crisfield’s troubles
through social media,” stated Sheri Burch Norris, Burch Oil’s Director of
Marketing. “And when it was brought to our attention, we knew we needed to do
something for our Maryland neighbors. We are hoping the Southern Maryland
community will make much-needed contributions and donations.”
According to Crisfield Mayor Jay Purnell, the
most needed items for distribution to the Crisfield community during this
holiday season are non-perishable foods, diapers, wipes, and new toys. The
public may drop off contributions to the Burch Oil office at 24660 Three Notch Road in Hollywood during
regular business hours (Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
prior to Wednesday, December 19, 2012.
Many homes and businesses were destroyed due
to severe water damage. Mayor Purnell requested that monetary contributions to
cover the costs of “desperately needed building materials” be mailed directly
to:
City of Crisfield
319 West Main Street
Crisfield, MD 21817
(in memo, please indicate: "for relief effort")
