Following the tragic fire that took place January 9th at the Twin Parks North West apartment building on 181st Street, the Bronx Chamber of Commerce and BxCC Foundation are coordinating our fundraising and outreach efforts with those of our members, community partners and extended network, in order to provide direct services to those affected. The Foundation is working with community members impacted by the fire to fulfill specific needs, focusing on culturally appropriate items from local businesses, school supplies & other educational needs, and post-relocation services.


Many thanks to.... 

The Third Avenue Business Improvement District, Monroe College, Verizon, Residence Inn, Great Performances, DoorDash, Univision and GrubHub for their contributions to relief efforts!
