Follow on Google News | HELPIS to Hold Fundraiser Jan. 9 at Flatbread to Support Victims of Lord Baron FireHELPIS Will Hold Fundraiser this Thursday at Flatbread Company Bedford to Continue Ongoing Support for the Residents of the Lord Baron Apartment Complex
By: HELPIS Working with a number of local organizations, businesses, and the town of Burlington, HELPIS has helped facilitate the fulfillment of temporary housing, hot meals, gift cards, clothing, household items, Christmas gifts, and more to the displaced residents since the fire. While most of the residents have been able to return to the complex, many are still in the process of rebuilding their lives after this horrible event. With this in mind, HELPIS has committed to help the residents through the rebuilding process and beyond. The funds raised from the event at Flatbread Company Bedford will help sustain HELPIS’ support services. Flatbread Company Bedford will be donating $3.50 from every large pizza purchase and $1.75 from every small pizza purchase, including curbside and takeout. “This has been an unbelievable experience for me,” said Joyce Deliyiannis, President of HELPIS. “I have seen so many examples of goodness and pureness. The last few months have only amplified the fact that people can be kind, selfless, and giving without expecting anything in return. Today, I feel so much richer, satisfied, and complete than I thought I was before. I am honored to have had this opportunity. The residents of Lord Baron have given me the gift of giving by opening themselves up and allowing me to give what I could to them. Additionally, I am very proud of all the people who I am surrounded by in this community. It is truly amazing the things that can be done when a community comes together to help its members.” “We are very excited and grateful to be working with the Flatbread Company for this exciting benefit event,” said HELPIS Treasurer Robin Rees Tyrie. “This event is a great opportunity for HELPIS to demonstrate what we’re all about while supporting a fantastic, generous local business. We encourage all current and new friends of HELPIS to come out to show their support for the residents of Lord Baron and enjoy some delicious Flatbread pizza.” HELPIS will be at Flatbread Company Bedford, located at 213 Burlington Rd. in Bedford, MA, on Thursday, January 9 from 5:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. Flatbread Company is a full-service restaurant that serves mostly organic, wood-fired pizza. Flatbread has a commitment to source local and organic foods whenever possible, while giving back to the community through benefits and sponsorship. Part of the Flatbread Company mission is to support local organizations that have an impact on the local community. The primary way that they accomplish this is through the benefit nights that are held at each of the restaurants. For those who cannot attend the fundraiser but would like to contribute to our ongoing support of the residents of Lord Baron, you can make an online donation to HELPIS via our website http://helpis.org/ About HELPIS, Help Me Help Someone HELPIS is a Massachusetts- End
