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

Farm Stands

BronxWorks is dedicated to making fresh, affordable produce to our Bronx neighbors. Farm Stands provide local and regional produce to the community and offer health incentive coupons to customers. We operate two seasonal farm stands from July – November, and also offer a produce market during the winter and spring.

Farm Stands

From July to November, both the Community Farm Stand at the BronxWorks Carolyn McLaughlin Community Center and the Mott Haven Farm Stand at Padre Plaza Garden, E 139th St., provide local and regional produce to the community and offer health incentive coupons to customers who engage in nutrition education workshops. The Farm Stands also employ Bronx youth as part of the Youth Food Justice Program.

The Farm Stands accept cash, Health Bucks, Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program checks, and EBT/SNAP Benefits.
