| HOW TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF THURSDAY'S FIRE |
Dear Friend:
On Thursday evening, The Bronx faced an unimaginable tragedy.
Twelve of our neighbors passed away in a horrible fire in Belmont, including a one year old child. As we pray for the victims, we are working to assist those families dispaced by the fire.
The NYPD, in collaboration with the Mayor's Office Community Affairs Unit, Office of Emergency Management, and the FDNY, have established a collection site where people can donate new or lightly used clothing to help the families affected by this tragedy.
Location:
Church of Saint Martin of Tours
2239 Crotona Avenue (E. 182nd St/Garden Ave)
Bronx
Date:
Saturday 12/30, 9am -4pm
Sunday 12/31, 9am -4pm
In addition, my office is partnering with the Red Cross of New York to coordinate relief efforts for the victims. Please call 877-RED-CROSS if you want to help. And please share this information with everyone you can.
Sincerely,
Ruben Diaz Jr.
