Batesville, IN — A fundraiser has been created for those displaced by a fatal fire that destroyed a home on Monday, August 31. The fire claimed the life of one person and displaced 9 residents who occupied the two-story duplex on 106 N. Park Avenue in Batesville.
A fund was established for community members and organizations who wish to provide financial support for those families. It is overseen by the City of Batesville’s Community Development Director Steven Harmeyer in partnership with the Hispanic Community Advisory Committee. Funds will be dispersed equally among the families.
Monetary assistance can be given by visiting any FCN Bank and making a donation to the account set up as “Displaced Victims Benefit”. Other forms of donations such as clothing are not being accepted by the City of Batesville. The program begins today and will conclude Friday, September 18.
