City Council Member Andy King will hold a community “meet and greet” and free winter coat giveaway at his 12th District offices at 940 East Gun Hill Road on Monday, Jan. 15, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Joining Council Member King will be his staff and representatives from local groups who will be available to answer community questions.
The open house also celebrates the observance of the birthday of the slain civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“It’s only fitting that on the day of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s actual birthday that we open up our house as Dr. King had opened up his heart and gave his life to improve the lives of others. That true commitment to service is what we strive for in the 12th District,” said Council Member King.
Unfortunately, far too many Bronx residents are unable to afford a warm winter jacket or coat this winter season. To help, Council Member King will distribute free coats to the neediest residents in the Bronx on Monday.
This event is free and open to the public.
