Fundraiser to Benefit Dedham Family Displaced After Sanderson Ave. Fire

The Jones family of Dedham was displaced after a fire destroyed their home on June 10.

A fundraiser being held later this month in Dedham will benefit a local family that was displaced after a fire tore through their Sanderson Avenue home last week. 

On the evening of Tuesday, June 10, a two-alarm fire destroyed the home of Dedham residents Jill and Kenny Jones and their two children and two dogs. 

While no one was injured in the fire, the family was displaced, and the Dedham community quickly rallied to help by collecting donations at Oakdale Elementary and setting up a GoFundMe fundraising page
