On Friday, August 12, Senator Gustavo Rivera hosted his first Back to School and Community Resource Fair of the year at the Ben Abrams Playground in Bronx Park East.
During the event, Senator Rivera and his staff distributed more than 500 backpacks, bags of food, and connected those in attendance with a variety of resources and services from local community providers.
Senator Rivera's next Back to School event will be held on Thursday, August 18 at 3:30 PM at St. James Park. Aside from distributing backpacks, the event will also be a job and resource fair where Bronx residents will be able to learn of employment opportunities.
The number of backpacks is limited and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
