A Code Blue Weather Emergency notice is issued when the temperature drops to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less between 4pm and 8am, including National Weather Service calculations for wind chill values. No one who is homeless and seeking shelter in New York City during a Code Blue will be denied. Should you see a homeless individual out in the cold, please call 311 and an outreach team will be dispatched to offer assistance.

Judith Leonard, longtime BronxWorks board member, passed away earlier this month. Judith served on the BronxWorks Board of Directors for many years, joining the board of then-Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) after the merger between Girls Club of New York and CAB. Judith was an incredibly dedicated board member, and she provided guidance and support as CAB grew and transformed into BronxWorks in 2009. Her loss is felt throughout the organization and especially by the BronxWorks Board of Directors. We send our thoughts, well-wishes, and our deepest sympathy to her family.

In 2012, in celebration of our 40th Anniversary, Judith wrote a letter about why she had served on nonprofit boards for over 40 years. Read the full letter here.
