Team Salamanca continued our Back to School school supply kit distributions. 
Congratulations Pastor Frederick Crawford, Joseph Alston & Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church’s team of volunteers on the success of your Annual Back 2 School Health & Community Awareness Fair Thank you Bronx Community Board 2 for your commitment to helping South Bronx families with your annual Back to School GiveawayBronx parents should never have to struggle providing their kids the necessary supplies they need for school. I will continue partnering with community organizations to help fill this gap for families who are forced to choose between paying bills and getting their kids ready for the new school year.
IN THE NEWS
BRONX TIMES — URBAN HEALTH PLAN WAY
“Urban Health Plan, Inc. has been an important staple in the Borough of the Bronx for 50 years. It is the biggest economic engine that we have in the South Bronx, employing over 1,000 employees,” Salamanca said.
“And on a personal note, today’s ceremony is very meaningful to me as I not only started my career here, but my mother also worked for Urban Health Plan. So, to see it grow into what it has become today brings me great joy. I am incredibly proud that the corner of Westchester Avenue and West Farms Road will now be forever known as Urban Health Plan Way.”

“As the South Bronx continues to experience growth with the infusion of much needed affordable housing, it is vital that our constituents also have sufficient city resources and infrastructure to ensure the best quality of life,” said Council Member Rafael Salamanca, Jr. at the 2021 groundbreaking ceremony for P.S. 487.
“Once open, the school will be a beacon of education for countless generations of Bronxites.”

NEWS 12 — P.S. 487
“Bronx Councilman Rafael Salamanca, Jr. was there when the city broke ground on P.S. 487 back in 2021, and told News 12, ‘It's about time. I'm really excited and I'm happy with this new school building that the Bronx, the Melrose section of the District is getting.’”
“We've seen that in the past… the amount of students in these classrooms makes it difficult for students to learn. Having smaller class sizes gives students the opportunity to have that extra education one-on-one with their educator.”
