Backpack and School Supply Giveaway Outside Bronx Muslim Center

Almost two-hundred backpacks filled with school supplies were given away outside the Bronx Muslim Center on Rhinelander Avenue Sunday. This backpack giveaway was organized by Community Board 11 member Christian Amato, Throggs Neck District Leader John Doyle, and Assemblywoman Nathalia Fernandez.  

Community Board 11 Vice-Chair Yahay Obeid set up the location of the Bronx Muslim Center, a well used building that is at almost full capacity.
