Walkthrough with NYCDOT and Engine 97 June 24th, 2025


The heat last Tuesday did not stop us and it will not stop our team!

The heat last Tuesday didn’t stop us — and it won’t stop our team! ๐Ÿ’ช Despite the 100-degree weather, Councilwoman Marmorato and her Chief hit the ground running, joining NYC DOT staff, Commissioner Perez, and Lt. DeJesus from Engine 97 for a thorough walk-through in the district. Together, we addressed long-standing concerns head-on, ensuring our community’s needs are seen, heard, and acted on.


Extreme temperatures won’t slow us down — our commitment to improving safety, accessibility, and quality of life in the district continues, no matter the weather.


We’re out here, and we’re just getting started!


Hot Meals through D13! 

Hot Meals with Throggs Neck Houses and NYCHA June 25th, 2025


Even in the middle of this intense heat wave, our team is out in the community — last Wednesday at Throggs Neck Houses — making sure our residents are cared for and supported with hot meals and essential resources.


We know how tough these extreme temperatures can be, especially for our NYCHA neighbors, and that’s exactly why we’re showing up.


The heat won’t stop us from checking in, lending a hand, and standing side by side with the people we serve. Please remember to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe — and know that our team is always here, working for you and with you.

Hot Meals with more of D13! June 26th, 2025


We’re proud to keep delivering hot meals to neighbors across 

District 13! ๐Ÿฝ️


Today’s meal distribution stops included:

✅ Northeast Bronx Senior Center

✅ Bruckner Boulevard


From a warm plate to a simple act of kindness, every gesture 

matters when it comes to caring for our community. We're 

grateful to be part of a district that truly looks out for one 

another — especially in challenging times.


Together, we’re making a difference, one meal at a time!


Family Day with NYPD 45th Precinct June 26th, 2025


We’re always proud to support and sponsor community 

events with the NYPD’s 45th Precinct!


Last Thursday’s Family Day at Orchard Beach was a 

fantastic evening — filled with fun activities, cool ocean 

breezes, and plenty of snacks for all ages. It was a great 

chance for families to unwind and for officers and 

community members to connect in a relaxed, positive setting.


Moments like these are what District 13 is all about bringing 

people together, building trust, and creating lasting bonds 

between our neighbors and those who serve and protect them.


Here’s to more events that strengthen our community spirit 

and keep our district united!


Yemeni American Day Parade June 28th, 2025


It’s always a joy to spend time with our incredible Yemeni 

community, and this past Saturday was no exception as we 

came together to celebrate the 7th Annual Yemeni American 

Day Parade!


The energy, culture, and unity on display were truly inspiring. 

Thank you all for your continued support and for always 

making District 13 feel so welcomed and appreciated.


Movie Night! June 29th, 2025


๐Ÿฟ๐ŸŽฌ Our Movie Night Under the Stars was an incredible 
success a beautiful evening filled with fun, entertainment, 
and a strong sense of community.

From handing out fresh fruits and vegetables to serving up 

popcorn and hotdogs, we were proud to offer more than 

just a movie — we created a space where neighbors could 

come together, connect, and enjoy a memorable night under 

the sky.


Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it so 

special. Events like this remind us what true community 

looks like — supportive, joyful, and united.
