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.

SNAP-Educators develop and employ a curriculum that targets school-age children, adult caregivers with children, and older adults ages 60 and up. The objectives are to promote consumption of nutrient dense and low-fat foods, decrease consumption of low nutrient sugar sweetened foods and beverages, increase physical activity, improve food resource management and preparation skills, and increase access to affordable and nutritious food options.
