News from BP Gibson: Resources & Updates

Dear Neighbors,

Thank you for joining us for another week in review.

This week, we joined with HELP ON THE WAY INC. to commemorate the Americans with Disabilities Act and Disability Pride Month. HELP ON THE WAY INC. is an organization that provides services for people with developmental disabilities and we are proud to partner with an organization that is just as committed to building an inclusive and equitable borough as we are. We also saw years of dedication and $8 million in investment come to life with the opening and renovating of Wakefield Playground and Bridge Playground.

This Sunday, we gathered again for our Summer Concert Series! It was incredible. Our performers and partners keep surprising us with their talent and dedication. Please join us next Sunday again as we dance and sing along!

We hope you are staying hydrated while taking advantage of our cooling centers around the city. To find your nearest Cooling Center, please visit here.

Also, be sure to SAVE THE DATE for our Tour de Bronx taking place on October 23rd!

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

 

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson

Thank you to HELP ON THE WAY INC. for partnering with us for this important event.  HELP ON THE WAY INC. is an organization that provides Services for People with Developmental Disabilities and they doing extraordinary work in our community. Our goal is for the borough to be an inclusive place to live, and to provide equal opportunities for everyone and that is why we reactivated our Disability Advisory Council.
