Community Easter Egg Hunt at Woods Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church
April 17: The local community surrounding the Bronx’s Woods Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church has been one of the hardest hit by COVID-19. Devastatingly, our zip code’s death rates are nearly twice as high as NYC, and one out of 125 community members have died from the virus. One out of every three of our neighbors have been diagnosed at least once with COVID.
We are coming together as a community for a healing celebration of life and our children. We will have an Easter egg hunt, food and games for families. The event will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Woods Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church (Bro. B. Gregory Moore, Minister-in-Charge), 3122 Edson Ave. (between Burke & Hammersley), on the Church lawn.
