THE WEEK IN REVIEW

LAD COMMUNITY LAUNDRY ROOM GRAND OPENING 

 

Stopped by the The Longwood Academy of Discovery for the grand opening of their LAD Community Laundry Room, funded by a $200,000 grant from my office. 

 Throughout Bronx schools, we are witnessing students from low-income families get bullied for not having access to clean clothing. With the opening of this community laundry room, parents now have a space to do laundry and ensure their kids are maintaining healthy hygiene.

HELMET DISTRIBUTION WITH NYC DOT

 

 The South Bronx is officially ready to enjoy the warmer season with brand-new bicycle helmets! 

Thank you to NYC DOT for your continued partnership with our free helmet distributions and your commitment to ensuring the safety of Bronx youth.
