The Town of Funkstown had a resident that had a house fire last night and lost everything.  He is currently in the hospital, and generous Town residents are helping him with his animals.

The Town Manager would like to help and collect clothes for him since he lost everything.  If anyone knows what size he wears or would like to donate, please call Town Hall (301-791-0948) so she can collect clothes to help him out.  Any new or gently used clothes would be greatly appreciated to help get him back on his feet.

THANK YOU everyone in advance so we can all pull together and show a small act of kindness.

At this point Apple Valley Waste is running ONE day behind on Funkstown Trash pick up. They will let us know if the plan changes.

With the incoming weather forecast we are reminding folks to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours after the event ends.
