The City of Salem has launched a relief effort for two households displaced by a recent house fire on Roslyn Street in Salem on March 10th. Financial donations are now being accepted to the Relief Fund to support these neighbors as they begin to recover from the fire.

Additionally, if you know of potential rentals in Salem that may be available for these displaced individuals, please contact jmota@salem.com and we will share the information with them.

Donating Funds:

Donations may be made at any Salem Five bank branch or online at www.salemma.gov/relief. Donations may also be mailed to:

Salem Relief Fund

c/o Salem Five

71 Washington Street

Salem MA 01970

If donating at a branch or mailing a donation, please make your check payable to “Salem Relief Fund.” Donations are tax deductible, and all donated funds will be divided among the victims to help them secure new housing, pay bills, or purchase food, home goods, and clothing.

Donating Items:

In lieu of donating items, those who would like to help the victims recover are encouraged to give a financial donation, so they have the most flexibility in rebuilding their lives. Gift cards in even amounts for clothing, groceries, meals, home goods and furnishings, and personal care products and toiletries can also be donated. Gift cards may be dropped off at the Office of the Mayor, Salem City Hall, 93 Washington Street, Mondays-Wednesday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Thursdays 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Fridays 8:00 a.m. to noon.
