Bronx residents continue to suffer the damages after a water main break tore through Webster Avenue last Monday.
Some residents still have no power, clean drinking water, and no heat as we experience freezing temperatures.
The Red Cross is adding one more element to their relief plan over at Botanical Square. Warm lunches and diner will be served every day now, through Friday. The Organization will also be replenishing those in need with more supplies and necessities at the site.
The Red Cross tells News 12 that 25 households in this Bedford Park community have reached out so far for assistance.
Forty-nine adults and 19 children have utilized the Red Cross's resources of temporary housing blankets, warm meals and cleaning supplies.
Anyone who is still in need of assistance should call the Red Cross at 1-877-REDCROSS and select option one or speak to a Red Cross representative between 12 p.m. And 7 p.m.
