Sunnyside Fire Relief Fund - organized by SCS

On December 20th, a fire broke out at a residential building with more than 100 apartments. Sadly, hundreds of our neighbors in Sunnyside have been displaced just before the holidays. The community has already shown an outpouring of support in so many ways, including with donations of clothing and pet care items. At this time, community groups and tenants are asking for monetary donations. This vital cash assistance can be given to the residents so they can take care of immediate needs. Local community groups have asked Sunnyside Community Services to assist them in securing and distributing funds to residents impacted by the fire. Other community partners and organizations are ready to join and help spread the word so we can help raise as much funds as possible to support our neighbors. Please donate what you can and please share this page with your network.

This page has been set up by Sunnyside Community Services to benefit of those impacted by the fire.

Update on 12/22/2023

Sunnyside Community Services (SCS) has received questions regarding the distribution. SCS is currently focused on bringing awareness of this fundraiser so we can raise as much money as possible to provide financial support to those impacted by the fire. We are having conversations with tenant leaders and other groups who have gone through a similar experience. We will continue to provide updates and will be sure that those impacted receive information regarding the distribution of these funds. 100% of the funds collected (outside the fees from GoFundMe) will support the people impacted by the fire. We thank everyone for their incredible generosity.
