🚨 Anchorage Community, We Need Your Help 🚨

One of our HOA communities experienced a devastating structure fire this morning. At least 3–4 families have already been displaced, and with 21 units in the building, many more may be impacted as this is still an active situation.

We are reaching out for donations to support these families during this difficult time. Items such as food, clothing, bedding, and other essentials would mean so much. ❤️

📍 Donations can be dropped off at the Anchorage RPM Office: 810 N Street #305 Anchorage, AK 99501

Thank you for showing love and support to our neighbors in need. Together, we can make a difference.
