THE WEEK IN REVIEW

CELEBRATING THREE KINGS DAY AT THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN!

🎁 A beautiful morning at the New York Botanical Garden as Team Salamanca & Team Feliz co-hosted our Three Kings Day Event!



πŸ™ Council Member Oswald Feliz and the New York Botanical Garden for your partnership in our celebration for our Bronx community, during which we distributed 400 children’s toys and kept the tradition alive.


WALKTHROUGH WITH DEPUTY MAYOR ANNE WILLIAMS-ISOM

Addressing the opioid crisis on 149th Street and the HUB has always been a priority for me.

Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom and the Third Avenue Business Improvement District joined me at the HUB to discuss strategic ways to continue offering services to those in need while preserving the local quality of life standards.


Thank you, Deputy Mayor Williams-Isom and your team, for today’s walkthrough, for hearing our concerns, and for pledging more resources to address these critical issues.


WALKTHROUGH WITH SHARING EXCESS
 
πŸ“Έ from my walkthrough with Sharing Excess at their home base in the Hunts Point Produce Market

πŸ‘‰ Rescuing & redistributing over 1 million pounds of food per week, Sharing Excess partners with companies in the Market to distribute items close to their ‘sell-by dates’ to food pantries across NYC



My office will continue working alongside organizations like theirs to tackle food insecurity throughout the Bronx & ensure the food required to close this hunger gap doesn’t go to waste.
