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

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.
