The Hamilton Township mayor is calling for donations for those affected by a multi-alarm fire that broke out Monday.

Donations can be brought to the Bromley Neighborhood Civic Center located 1801 East State St. in town. Residents with questions regarding donations can call the center at 609-587-8100 or send an email to info@cyobromley.org.
The fire started at 1744 E. State St. just before 5 p.m. Monday. It quickly spread to the row of homes and damaged at least 20 of them.
