Donations of checks or gift cards also may be sent to Judy Geist, 110 Bonniebrook Road, Cabot, PA 16023. Checks should be made out to Patrick or Milissa Rodgers.

The Rodgers, along with their four children, were forced from their home about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday after Patrick Rodgers noticed smoke coming from a bathroom.
