A beloved bakery in Mount Vernon in stepping in to help the victims of Sunday's five-alarm fire.
The owners of Fleetwood Bakery say they are swamped with holiday orders right now.
"This [order] is for Monroe College," owner Filomena Cutaia says.
However, they're also taking a little time to give back this week.
Owners Josephine and Enzo Cutaia say the shop is collecting donations for the families who are impacted by the fire at 30 Cottage Ave.
"It hurts like it's my family," Josephine says.
"We were crying yesterday when we went to the building. I mean, it's just sad and we all have to come together and help them," Enzo says.
The bakers announced the drive on social media and the donations have already started to pour in.
They're collecting everything from coats to cleaning supplies.
"Wipes, baby wipes, socks," Cutaia says.
They say the donations will directly support the families who have been displaced from their home, just days before Thanksgiving.
