SENATOR RIVERA HOSTS THE 8TH SENIOR HEALTH FAIR & LUNCHEON!
This week, Senator Rivera hosted his Annual Senior Health Fair and Luncheon! More than 250 seniors joined the Senator and community partners at Lehman College for an afternoon filled with free health screenings, delicious food, raffle prizes, and a great musical performance by the Morrisania Project Band Project.
Senator Rivera wants to thank all of the sponsors and partners who made this event possible, and his District Office team for their diligent work in making this event a successful one. Senator Rivera is already looking forward to the next Senior Health Fair and Luncheon, coming July of 2025!
UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS & RESOURCES
8/15: SENATOR RIVERA'S ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL BACKPACK GIVEAWAY & RESOURCE FAIR
Senator Rivera shares the community's concerns about public drug use and syringe litter near the Kingsbridge Underpass, Poe Park, and nearby hot spots. There are local harm reduction providers who clean up the needles safely and who connect with users to help them with recovery, medical care, and basic needs.
Our team created this schedule and contact informational sheet in collaboration with the harm reduction organizations serving the Northwest Bronx so that neighbors can contact them to assist with issues near Kingsbridge Road and the Grand Concourse. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 718-933-2034 or grivera@nysenate.gov.
