Close

When temperatures climb closer to 100°F, life on the streets can go from unbearable to deadly. When the predicted heat index reaches 95°F or higher, the City of New York declares a “CODE RED”. During a Code Red, the BronxWorks Homeless Outreach Team will be working hard to help our most vulnerable neighbors get off the streets and into shelter.

Designated cooling centers are open during a CODE RED all around New York City and the Bronx. If you are living without air conditioning and need a place to cool down contact 311 or click here to find a cooling center near you. Please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and sick. Cooling centers are open and available to the public. More info

BronxWorks Prom & Graduation Clothing Drive

A collage of pictures. In the top left, two young girls hold dresses out in front of them and smile. One dress is yellow, the other is blue. In the top right photo, a boy and girl stand next to each other in front of silver balloons that read "PROM 2025". The girl holds a dress in a plastic dry cleaning bag and the boy holds a suit in a dry cleaning bag. In the lower left, multiple people browse clothing racks for dresses and suits. In the lower right, two women stand next to each other smiling. One woman holds a dark-colored dress and the other holds rainbow-colored boots.

BronxWorks Children & Youth Programs provide after-school and summer learning for Bronx middle school and high school students. Our programs will once again host a Prom & Graduation Clothing Drive to support students who may not have access to suits or dresses and accessories for these momentous events!

Please donate new or lightly used dresses, suits, ties, and accessories!

  • All clothing items must be cleaned and in dry cleaning bags or we will not be able to accept them.
  • We especially need smaller sizes for middle school graduations.
  • We are not accepting shoe donations.
  • We also are accepting donations of new & unused cosmetics and personal care items.

Donation Drop-Off is available weekdays Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm, at two locations:

Additionally, purchase items off of our wishlist here, or make a monetary donation to this cause. We are collecting donations through May 13!

If you have any questions about the drive, please contact us at info@bronxworks.org.
