Extreme heat can be dangerous and even deadly. More than 500 New Yorkers die from heat-related causes each year. If you have air conditioning, use it. If you don’t, make a plan to stay cool by visiting libraries, community centers, malls, museums, or other cooling spaces.

As temperatures climb this summer, protecting our community starts with awareness and preparation.

Drink water frequently, stay in air-conditioned spaces when possible, wear lightweight clothing, and know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Please take a moment to check on older adults, neighbors, and loved ones who may be more vulnerable during extreme heat events.

Together, we can help keep our community safe and healthy.

Our neighborhood is built by immigrants.

This June, in honor of Immigrant Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the community we serve every day along Liberty Avenue.

A few facts about our home:

• 41% of East New York residents are immigrants — naturalized citizens and newcomers alike
• 35% of all Brooklyn residents are foreign-born, more than 900,000 people
• The City Line / Ozone Park area is one of the fastest-growing Bangladeshi enclaves in NYC
• Over 200 languages are spoken across our borough, with dozens represented right here on Liberty Avenue

Our community is Bangladeshi, Guyanese, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Caribbean, West African, South Asian, and so much more. Every family has a story. Every journey matters.

At BACDYS, we’re proud to serve immigrant families with the resources, support, and respect they deserve.

Proud to serve. Proud to belong.
