A few residents and business
owners in the 4th district suffered a loss on the morning of September
30, when a fire spread through four row houses on the 4600 block of York Road.
The York Road Partnership has appealed to the greater community for donations
of clothes, bedding, or funds to be made to the family of Michelle Shelton who,
along with her three children, was displaced from her home due to the fire.
Our district office at 5225
York Road is happy to serve as a drop-off location for donations to make
collection and distribution easier. Our office hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
Monday-Friday (with the exception of Monday, October 14, when our office will
be closed for the Columbus Day holiday). Please feel free to call us with any
questions (410) 396-4830, and see the YRP’s appeal below for more information
on how to give.
Hello YRP Community,
Early Monday morning
(Sept 30th) a fire at 4670 York Road displaced Michelle Shelton and
her 3 children. Although all 4 escaped without injury, there was
extensive smoke and fire damage to their 3 bedrooms. Unfortunately,
Michelle Shelton had no renter’s insurance.
