Donations of goods are being accepted at Hubbard Park on Sunday.
SPRINGFIELD – The Indian Orchard Citizens Council and Ward 8 City Councilor John A. Lysak will be hosting a collection effort on Sunday to aid the victims of Wednesday’s tornado.
Sunday’s collection will occur from noon to 4 p.m., at the Hubbard Park Building on Parker Street.
Donations of clothing, toiletries, and non perishable food items will be accepted. All donations will benefit Springfield victims of the tornado.
“The recent tornado disaster that has struck our city has caused a level of urgent relief to become necessary.” Lysak said. “While Springfield is not accustomed to this type of disaster, I am confident that we will stand strong and rebuild as a community. I am happy to be partnering with the Indian Orchard Citizens Council to provide an opportunity for residents of Ward 8 and Greater Springfield to donate to the relief.”
Susan Soto, president of the citizens council, said the group is “excited to be working with Councilor Lysak to bring assistance to our neighbors in this time of need.”
