HELP FOR FIRE VICTIMS: The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, in partnership with Mayor Eric Adams and the City of New York, is raising money to support the victims of Sunday’s deadly fire in a Bronx apartment building. The Jan. 9 fire claimed the lives of more than a dozen of New Yorkers, including many children, and injured more than 60 others. New Yorkers who are moved to assist may visit the NYC Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City online to make a cash donation that will enable the distribution of emergency relief supplies and provide support for those impacted by the fire.
Mayor Adams noted that in-kind gifts cannot be accepted at this time.
