The Bronx is a book desert, but together we’re going to change that!

Our newest free little library is going up at Havemeyer Garden!

One book, one garden, one community at a time. Every child in the Bronx deserves access to books, and we’re making it happen right here in our neighborhoods.

Thank you to everyone who supported us and to all the amazing volunteers who helped make this happen. We couldn’t do this without you.

This is what community looks like. This is what we can build together. @havemeyergardenassoc next time is the painting day !!! @citizenscommittee @nyc_nonprofits

⏪☀️ SUMMER REWIND AT NORTHSIDE! 📺💙

We’re rewinding to one of our favorite summertime moments: Northside President Paula Magnus on Spectrum News NY1! Did you catch the interview? Let us know in the comments! 👇

If you spend even a moment talking with our President, one thing quickly becomes clear: advocating for the behavioral and mental health of the children and families Northside serves across NYC is at the heart of Paula’s leadership.

Carrying forward the extraordinary legacy of our founders, Drs. Mamie Phipps Clark and Kenneth B. Clark, Paula sat down with the wonderful Cheryl Wills to discuss the importance of prioritizing the mental health of Black children in NYC, the need for accessible, culturally responsive care, and the critical role Northside continues to play in the lives of children and families across our city.

Whether you caught it the first time or simply want to hit rewind on one of your favorite summer viewing moments 😉, this conversation is definitely worth a rewatch.

📺 Watch Paula on NY1 at the link in our bio!

Follow us on all our social media platforms at @NorthsideCenter for the latest news, stories, and updates on Northside’s programs and activities across NYC! 💙✨

Yesterday, a federal judge dismissed the federal government’s lawsuit challenging New York City’s sanctuary city laws.

This decision is a win for our city, as these local laws are critical to ensuring that all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status, can access essential public services without fear.

In response to this decision, @faiza_n_ali, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, released the following statement:

Can you spare $1 to help feed 1,000 families? 🧡

Yes, we’re asking for ONE dollar.

Not $100. Not $50. Just $1.

On November 21st, Hope Near Me is hosting our biggest food distribution of the year, with a mission to provide fresh groceries to 1,000 families in the Bronx ahead of Thanksgiving.

We know times are tough for a lot of people. That’s why we’re inviting our community to come together and prove that small acts of generosity can create BIG impact.

Because $1 alone might not seem like much, but when thousands of people come together for one mission, imagine what we can accomplish.

Here’s the challenge:
🧡 Donate $1 (or more if you’re able).
📲 Share this post with 3 friends.
🙌🏽 Challenge them to do the same.

You don’t have to give a lot to make a difference. You just have to be willing to give what you can.

Let’s show 1,000 Bronx families what community looks like.
