When temperatures drop below freezing, the New York City Department of Homeless Services calls a Code Blue. Should you see anyone at risk, especially a homeless individual, please call 311. The BronxWorks Homeless Outreach Team will be dispatched to offer assistance.

BronxWorks food pantries operate on a client-choice model, allowing individuals to select the items they prefer. Distribution is based on family size to ensure appropriate support. We are appointment-based, and all clients must call the hotline (646.596.1316) on the designated call day to schedule an appointment. Appointments are issued on a first-call, first-served basis. Please note that some sites have limited availability, so we strongly recommend calling early, as appointments fill up quickly. Click here for a full list of BronxWorks pantry sites.

The BronxWorks Children and Youth Department held our second annual Prom and Graduation Clothing Giveaway Event for middle school and high school seniors! Over 80 students and their families attended the event at the Carolyn McLaughlin Community Center.

Each Student took home a dress or suit of their choice, and everyone was gifted a goodie bag with cosmetic and personal care items to prepare for these milestone events! Parents also had the opportunity to choose clothing for themselves for upcoming graduation ceremonies!

Thank you to everyone in the BronxWorks community who donated clothing and accessories to the Prom and Graduation Drive! Special thanks to the Administration for Children’s Services, who co-sponsored the event and helped students make their clothing choices alongside BronxWorks staff.
