SUMMER
The Sunday Market is back!
Sundays, 9 am - 2 pm in the parking lot of the Riverdale Temple
4545 Independence Avenue, Bronx, NY 10471.
We are a pop-up recycle your stuff club run by seniors since 2015, who have raised over $35,000 and directed all of it to local community needs, as well as responded to national and international disasters. We create awareness and seek to connect our community to humanitarian aid wherever it exists. We also believe in building our community service efforts through an intergenerational lens.
Recently we have created two social action projects:
The Farmer to Fridge Network recovers the excess fresh produce that our farmers bring to our weekly market and donates it to our local food pantries and mutual aid fridges.
The Pollinator Pathway Project brings together local groups interested in installing and maintaining native plant gardens, supporting sustainable land practices and limiting the use of pesticides benefiting threatened butterfly and insect populations.
A pathway is a public or private pesticide-free corridors of native plants that provide nutrition and habitat for pollinating insects and birds.
Even the smallest green spaces, like flower boxes and curb strips, can be part of a pathway.
Together with neighboring municipalities the Northwest Bronx can help support the ecological health of the region!
