South Brunswick Township Rallies to Help Apartment Fire Victims
 
On Monday morning fire swept through an apartment building in the South Ridge Woods Apartment Complex. Residents had to escape as fast as possible and left everything behind. The fire heavily damaged building 1 of the complex and left six apartments uninhabitable. In total 20 people including 9 children lost their homes.
 
South Brunswick Mayor Charlie Carley directed a coordinated relief effort in conjunction with the South Brunswick School District to help the families impacted by the fire. “I am so thankful everyone made it out of the apartment building, but many lost everything. I have directed our Social Service Department to take the lead in our relief efforts. They will be providing immediate financial assistance, gift cards, and food,” said Mayor Carley. Mayor Carley added, “Our community consistently rallies to help those in need, and we will do it again with our fire victims.”
 
Jeanne Wert, the Director of Social Services said, “The families are most in need of gift cards- Walmart, Target, Amazon, Stop & Shop, ShopRite. They lost everything. Some of the school-aged children went to class and returned to nothing.” Social Services has set up two locations for gift cards to be dropped off at – South Brunswick Municipal Building (Social Services office) 540 Ridge Road, Monmouth Junction NJ 08852 or South Brunswick Community Center 124 New Road, Monmouth Junction NJ 08852. The South Brunswick School District is accepting donations at all schools. Anyone looking to donate can also mail cards to -
