Our 4 King Street building, home to Worcester’s beloved arts, activism,
and community center, was damaged by a fire late Thursday, March 26. The
fire began in the basement–the cause is as yet unknown. No one was
injured.
We are committed to continuing and rebuilding at 4 King Street. The
building is currently unusable, but organizations will continue their
important social and environmental justice work thanks to the generous
support of dozens of other community groups.
Stone Soup needs your help to rebuild. We are asking for donations of
time, money, and other items. Check back here soon for more updates about materials and skills needed.
Donations can be made out to Stone Soup and sent to:
Stone Soup c/o Pleasant Street Neighborhood Network Center
301 Pleasant St.
Worcester, MA 01609.
We would like to correct the factual error in the T&G article published
this morning that stated that no one lives in the building – two resident
caretakers had occupied the space. We are working to meet the needs of
these individuals as well as the needs of other Stone Soup COOKS.
No pueden quemar nuestros sueños.
Our dreams cannot be burnt down.
Please continue reading for work day information, community meetings and
community needs.
