Access to fresh and healthy food is a critical issue affecting the overall health and wellbeing of the borough. One of the pillars of the BronxWorks mission is to feed our Bronx neighbors to build a stronger community. BronxWorks has several programs that address food insecurity in the borough, including food pantries, farm stands, and nutrition education.
Maribel C., BronxWorks Pantry Participant
“My family gets food from the pantry. You select what you want to take home, and I love that. A year ago, I got into an accident, and the doctor said that I was unable to work for at least a year. If you don’t work, you won’t have enough food, especially if you have kids. You can’t tell the kids we don’t have food today or we just have this kind of food every day. I understand that I have to give my kids everything they need to grow safe and healthy.”
Nancy P., BronxWorks Farm Stand Participant
“I’ve learned how the fresh produce offered at the farm stand can have health benefits for me, how it can help my heart health. I’ve learned a lot about the benefits of natural food like the fruits and vegetables here. It is really hard to get it from the stores, and what is there is usually not local to the New York area or organic. Having this weekly farm stand right down the street from me allows me to have a healthier lifestyle.”
