Need Help Cleaning Up Irene's Mess?

Irene left one heck of a mess to clean up -- and neighbors have reached out to help neighbors the old-fashioned way. But why not do it a new way -- on Milford Patch?

The hyperlocal news web site is welcoming anyone who needs help or anyone who wants to help to place comments on the bottom of this article.

If you're looking for a generator, why not ask for one? Maybe someone out there has one to lend or knows where you can find one.

If you're really good at organizing messes or cleaning out basements, why not offer your services -- free of charge -- to an elderly person for a few hours?

So if you could use a little help, feel free to leave your name and contact information in the comments below. Maybe someone will respond.

And if you want to help, why not offer a helping hand for a day -- and leave the way you can be reached?

It just seems in keeping with the slogan of Milford: A Small City with a Big Heart!
