Free COVID Tests and Flu Shots – Today

Uptown Grand Central will be hosting COVID testing and flu shots today at Fresh Food Box from 12-5 p.m.

The tests are the swab tests, and for those you can get results back in three days. They’ll also have the rapid tests available, with results back in 15 minutes. The swab tests are free, and the rapid tests have an additional fee ($100).

If the testers get enough foot traffic, Uptown Grand Central may be able to get the van to return with us for future weeks. 

Take care & mask up!

25th Precinct Community Council – Tonight

Hope you all are enjoying the chilly weather. 
Just wanted to remind you about tomorrow’s meeting which will begin at 6:00PM. Just as a point of clarity because of the rising COVID numbers we have decided not to do the hybrid meeting where we would have some people in-person and others join virtually.  This meeting is totally virtual via Zoom.  Hopefully, soon we will go back to some kind of normalcy where we can come out and enjoy a handshake or a hug. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Because we have recently received a good number of questions and concerns around sanitation issues in our community we invited DSNY to be a part of this conversation.  Please have your questions ready.  We will try our best to get to everyone.  It is very important that we try to use the Zoom functions (Blue Raise Hand, Chat, and Mute) so that we can acknowledge everyone most effectively.

25th Precinct Community Council Meeting

From Kioka Jackson, President of the 25th Precinct’s Community Council

Good Afternoon Everyone,
It is my hope that everyone is doing well and I welcome you all back from Summer 2020.  
2020 has been a very peculiar year with a unique set of challenges.  I am sure it has taken a toll over us in different ways.  One of the most amazing things that I have realized is that in times of trouble our community finds a way to come together and take care of one another.  So let me thank all of you for your commitment to the community and for the love of your neighbors.  The saying, “It takes a village” is not just about raising children, in my opinion, it is about creating and sustaining community.  Kudos to you all!! 
Our next Community Council Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 6:00PM Via Zoom.  We look forward in having everyone join us.  I will send out an agenda prior to the meeting.  If you have any specific questions or topics that you want to discuss or any presentations please email me at [email protected].  
K. Jackson is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
