       The deadly blaze that tore through a New York City building in the Tremont neighborhood of the Bronx has left many residents homeless, displaced or in need of basic necessities that they lost in the tragedy.

       The fire killed at least 17 people, including eight children, and injured more than 60 others, according to the New York City Fire Department.

       The community has quickly gotten to work to address the demand of those in need by raising money and stockpiling donations for the cause.

       Here are some ways to support the efforts:
