SURF Update

The SURF committee has been reaching out to homeowners, and in true Strathmere style, the response is often, "there's probably someone else who needs it more." When you have walls and floors ripped out, when you see Servpro more than you see your family, and when your insurance company still hasn't told you what they'll be sending you, YOU need some help.

Please help others by donating to SURF via the Strathmere United Methodist Church, Box 49, Strathmere 08248. AND, get in that last tax deduction for the year!

More from SURF: More than 20 homeowners have received help in the form of cash, gift cards and almost more importantly, visits from others bearing hot meals, some expertise and advice on remediation, and others with a shoulder to lean on and a cup of coffee to share while listening. One recipient said he has never felt so connected in town-with strangers he now considers friends. And that's what it's all about. Please help by donating to SURF. The committee has not heard of one homeowner who has received confirmation from his/her insurance company of how their claim will be settled-meanwhile mold doesn't wait and people need to be able to live in their homes.
