A fire caused a lot of damage at Boca Helping Hands last night.  See the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com for more details here: http://shar.es/SHXn

No one was injured and they are moving into temporary quarters today.  Their offices, assistance center and job center suffered major losses.

The Boca Helping Hands website will be updated within the day with the information below.  In the meantime, here is a list (that we will continue to update) of things they need right away:

CASH – big time!

A phone system that can take care of seven offices

Computers – new or used, desktop or laptop

Office Furniture – desks, chairs, file cabinets, shelving, etc. for six offices and the reception area

Office Supplies – folders, stationary, pens, pencils, tape, paper, envelops, etc.

Clothing – new or gently used. Children, adult business casual (male & female)

In addition to the items above, all of the donations for this Sunday’s silent auction at Bowling for Bread and the materials to put them together into gift baskets were wiped out.  Please send silent auction items.
