Lunch benefit Sunday, fund set up for Meridian Resident that lost home in tragic fire

Community members of Meridian have set up a lunch fundraiser for Janice Anderson, who lost her home last week in a tragic fire that spread throughout the house quickly. No one was injured, but many memories and items within were lost. The home was badly damaged. Donations will be accepted at the Meridian Civic Center Sunday, August 6, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Volunteers will serve a pulled-pork sandwich meal. The meal includes chips and cookies. A fund to benefit the family has been set up at First Security State Bank for those to contribute additional funds.

Stop by the Civic Center and contribute to help out a fellow community member in need. The drive-through will begin at 11:30 a.m. at 309 West River Street in Meridian, and continue until food runs out. An estimated 200 lunches will be made, and donations will go directly to the family. For more information on the fund and to assist in a time of need, contact FSSB at 254-675-2265 or visit the bank in Meridian 9353 State Highway 6.
