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.

Our case manager assists seniors with obtaining restraining orders, accompanies them to court, and helps get them whatever additional assistance they need while working closely with the police, the Bronx District Attorney’s office, and Adult Protective Services.

The case manager is also part of a Multi-Discipline Task force which offers an array of supportive services to victims of crime.
