It is always a joy to engage with our amazing community and ensure we keep providing valuable events that meet the needs of our constituents.
In this newsletter, you will find details about the district events that took place this week, along with information on various upcoming events we have planned.
It is an honor to represent you in the New York City Council and continue fighting to keep our community safe, healthy, and prosperous!
Sincerely,
Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato

Supporting Throggs Neck Housing
 |
Last Wednesday, we made sure the families of Throggs Neck Houses feel supported and cared for!
We delivered hot meals, fresh juice, and milk to residents, ensuring no one goes without a warm meal. But that's not all - our commitment to investing in the next generation continues with funding for brand-new laptops for kids in the buildings.
These devices will provide greater access to educational resources and programming, setting our youth up for success.
This is what real investment in our neighborhoods looks like - meeting immediate needs while building for the future. We got our NYCHA and our residents backs!
Blink Camera Giveaway
 |
Ensuring public safety is our highest priority, and we're constantly seeking ways to equip our residents with the resources they need to protect their homes and families. That's why I teamed up with the 49th Precinct to host a Blink Camera Giveaway, providing free security cameras to residents in our community.
These cameras offer an important added layer of protection, helping to deter crime and enhance the overall quality of life in our neighborhoods.
A heartfelt thank you to the NYPD 49th Precinct for their ongoing partnership and dedication to keeping our community safe!
Women of Distinction Breakfast!
 |
Last Friday morning, we were privileged to host our 2nd Annual Women of Distinction Breakfast, a special event dedicated to honoring the exceptional women of District 13 who make a lasting impact in our communities each and every day. From local leaders and educators to retired first responders, these women exemplify the values of dedication, resilience, and selfless service, inspiring those around them through their actions and commitment.
Councilwoman Marmorato is deeply proud to continue this meaningful tradition of recognizing and celebrating the incredible women who help shape the fabric of our district.
Their hard work and perseverance create a lasting legacy of positive change. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and participated – your contributions and efforts do not go unnoticed, and they are truly appreciated. Together, we continue to build a stronger and dedicated community!
Iftar Celebration
 |
Last Saturday night, we had the honor of joining the NYPD 43rd Precinct and the Muslim Officers Society for a truly meaningful Iftar. It was an evening filled with reflection, camaraderie, and a deep sense of community. Coming together in this way allowed us to celebrate the spirit of unity and solidarity that Ramadan brings.
We are incredibly grateful to our good friend and community leader, Yahay, for extending the invitation. His unwavering dedication to bringing people together and strengthening the bonds within our community is truly inspiring. Through his efforts, we are reminded of the power of connection and mutual support.
Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing. May this holy month bring peace, blessings, and joy to you and your loved ones.
Sheriff Shoutout!
 |
This is exactly what true community partnership and effective agency collaboration look like in action! When we come together, we can make a real difference in the lives of our residents. Working hand-in-hand with dedicated partners strengthens our ability to address the needs of our community and foster a safer, more connected environment for everyone.
A heartfelt thank you to the NYC Sheriff's Office for the kind shoutout and for their continued support. Your partnership means the world to us, and together, we’ll keep making strides toward positive change!

Standing with ACE Program
 |
We joined @aceprogramsny in demanding the city repeal the new mandates that threaten to raise costs for BIDs and ACE programs—organizations that play a vital role in keeping our streets clean. These mandates impose unnecessary financial strain, making it harder for these dedicated teams to do their important work.
We also had the chance to catch up with one of our local heroes, Jesus, who’s always out in the district, working hard to maintain our streets. His commitment is a powerful reminder of how essential these programs are to keeping our city clean and safe.
We’re calling on the administration to reverse these mandates and back the hardworking individuals who are making a real difference in our neighborhoods! 
Happy Greek Independence Day!
On March 25th, we celebrate Greek Independence Day, honoring Greece’s fight for freedom and independence.
This day reflects the resilience and spirit of the Greek people, and celebrates the values of liberty, unity, and self-determination. Let’s take a moment to recognize the rich history and contributions of the Greek community. Happy Greek Independence Day!
ACE continues to keep District 13 shining! Shoutout to ACE for their incredible support during the cleanup on Gun Hill Road. Together, we continue to make our community cleaner, stronger, and more vibrant!
