Supporting the Morris Park Community!
On July 22, 2020 the Morris Park Business Improvement District team including Executive
Director Dr. Camelia Tepelus and local residents Theresa Hefter and Frank Broccoli
distributed over 150 boxes of food and face coverings to the food pantry at 800 Morris Park
Avenue (Morris Park Seventh Day Adventist Church), serving the community Thursdays,
8:30am to 10:30am. This effort was made possible thanks to the generous support of many
Morris Park residents that dropped food at the BID in the height of the COVID pandemic over
the last months, to help our neighbors in vulnerable circumstances. We would also like to
express our gratitute to friends, volunteers and partner organizations that shared resources
with us, especially Loving the Bronx and the Huntington Free Library. Thank you all residents,
for your generosity and compassion to our neighbors! Photos: MPBID, July 22, 2020

YOU CAN HELP YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD NOW, FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!
Over the next decade, lawmakers, business owners, and many others will use 2020 Census data to make critical
decisions affecting your neighborhood. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new
roads, and more services for families, older adults, and children. Each year, Census data informs federal funding for
more than 100 programs, including school lunches, law enforcement, first responders and education.
