TWF 307 - (Fundraiser) The Aftermath Of The Fire At Duryea's Florist.

 Hello, friends!

As so many of you are already aware, a recent fire burned down a rather famous storefront in Freeport.  Duryea's Florist is one of Freeport's older businesses that's still in operation, and along with the florist's a deli and some apartments located above it were decimated.  The fire injured numerous firefighters who responded to help put out the blaze.

Now, Kara Willocks has set up a GoFundMe page to help Duryea's set up at an alternate location and keep operating as we get into the holiday season - usually one of their best times-of-year!  The Weekly Freeporter knows that with CoVID numbers rising throughout Nassau County (and New York State as a whole), times are really hard for a lot of people, but given that I've been an appreciative patron of Duryea's and they really are nice people, if you can contribute to help this Freeport landmark stay in Freeport and keep their business going in the face of this horrible disaster, that would surely be appreciated.

Duryea's before the fire.
