During a recent meeting, the Town of Glocester's council discussed a new initiative to collect donations for disaster relief, specifically considering a partnership with Samaritan's Purse, an organization known for its efficient handling of charitable contributions. The council proposed a one-week donation period, allowing residents to drop off their contributions until next Friday.

The council emphasized the importance of ensuring that donations are managed properly. It was suggested that financial contributions be directed to the tax collector's office to maintain better oversight and control over the funds. This approach aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the donation process.

The discussion highlighted the council's commitment to supporting those in need while also ensuring that the handling of funds is secure and efficient. If the proposal is approved, the council plans to move forward with the collection and distribution of donations, reinforcing the community's role in providing aid during times of crisis.
