Bronx. Find out more about each!
La Familia Verde - www.lafamiliaverde.org
La Familia Verde is a coalition of community gardens in the Crotona, East Tremont, and West
Farms neighborhoods in the Bronx. Formed in 1998, their mission is to sustain the
environment and culture of our neighborhood through education, community service, and
horticulture.
City Harvest - www.cityharvest.org
City Harvest, a non-profit organization founded in 1982, is the world's first and New York City's
only food rescue program. City Harvest exists to end hunger in communities throughout New
York City. We do this through food rescue and distribution, education, and other practical,
innovative solutions.
Citizens for NYC - www.citizensnyc.org
Citizens for NYC, a nonprofit organization founded in 1975 as the Citizens Committee for New
York City, mobilizes New Yorkers to improve their neighborhoods in the areas of Urban
Environment and Beautification, Safety, Poverty, Neighborhood Diversity, Youth-Led Community
Service and Youth Entrepreneurship.
Green Worker Cooperatives - www.greenworker.coop
Green Worker Cooperatives is a South Bronx-based organization dedicated to incubating
worker-owned and environmentally friendly cooperatives in the South Bronx. They are a
response to high unemployment and decades of environmental racism. We believe that in
order to address our environmental and economic problems we need new ways to earn a living
that don’t require polluting the earth or exploiting human labor.
The Green Party of NYS - www.gpnys.org
Not happy with either the democrats or the republicans? Then enroll in a political party that has
values you can support! Unlike other political parties, the Green Party has real values that
commit Greens to upholding grassroots democracy, non-violence, the environment, and social
and economic justice. Green Party principles demand that the community hold the ultimate
power - not elected officials or Party leadership.
Montefiore Medical Centers and Affiliates - www.montefiore.org
Montefiore’s medical departments partner with national and community-based groups on
health-outreach studies and programs that target specific needs, especially of children, women
and seniors. We also sponsor health and education programs in local elementary, middle and
high schools.
Nos Quedamos - www.nosquedamos.org
Nos Quedamos is a nonprofit community development corporation comprised of residents and
members of the local business community from the South Bronx, committed to preserving their
voice and vision for their community and its future. We will promote, support, and advance
ideas of healthy, sustainable growth, both for local communities and the larger society.
