NY Firehouses and EMS Stations Collecting Donations for Puerto Rico



The Fire Department is collecting donations of needed supplies at 18 firehouses and EMS stations across the city for residents of Puerto Rico impacted by Hurricane Maria.

The FDNY encourages donation of items that are critically needed for recovery. These items will be delivered to families directly affected by the storm. Below is a list of items New York City is collecting to send to those affected by Hurricane Maria: diapers, baby food, batteries, first aid supplies and feminine hygiene products. 

Please note the FDNY is only collecting the items listed above. All donated items must be non-perishable, not second-hand, nor contain any liquids of any kind. Open or unsealed donations of food or hygiene supplies will not be accepted. Wet wipes will also not be accepted.

Donations will be accepted during the hours of 7 am - 9 pm. Please be aware that FDNY members at these locations may not be present during drop-off hours if they are responding to an emergency.
