Community Encouraged to Donate Winter Clothing Items and Baby Food
On Wednesday, September 10th a three-alarm fire on Decatur Avenue in Norwood left a Bronx family without basic necessities or winter clothing.
“I am reaching out to the community to ask that they donate winter clothing for an adult man and woman, as well as for a 1-year-old boy. This family is without clothing that will keep them warm during the cold months that are approaching, as well as baby food and other basic necessity items.
“If you are able to, I encourage you to donate winter jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, socks, blankets and personal care items. It is my hope that we can come together during our neighbors time of need and help them get through this difficult time,” said Council Member Andrew Cohen.
“Last week, the Norwood community was rocked by a devastating house fire that has left a family destitute and homeless. Now is our chance, as neighbors, to lend a helping hand and do our part to help this family get back on their feet and to that end, Community Board 7 is proud to partner with Council Member Cohen, FDNY and community members to launch a clothing drive for those who were affected by this terrible tragedy,” said Dustin Engelken, District Manager, Community Board 7.
All donations are being collected at the FDNY Engine Company 79, located at 2928 Briggs Avenue.
