KHCC believes that Mental Health is important when providing a service to a participant. For too long there has been a stigma surrounding Mental Health, which causes silence and isolation— we do not want that!

Each year for the past 25 years, Kingsbridge Heights Community Center has held our Winter Drive to collect donations for our program participants. Our focus has varied over the years based on what our community needs. This year, we focused our efforts on collecting toys for all our program participants as well as providing $25 Target gift cards to as many families as possible. The gift cards could be used for holiday gifts, food, diapers, household products and other necessities.

On Wednesday, December 21st, Kingsbridge Heights Community Center (KHCC) hosted The Bronx Reads: Literacy Day - An event aimed at fostering a love of reading & scholastic excellence among children. The event provided a special space for children, tweens, teens as well as caregivers to come together and explore their love of reading during the holiday season.

How can you help KHCC and give back to the community? Kingsbridge Heights Community Center assists individuals from cradle to career and hopes to continue to do so for many years to come. The strength of this organization comes from the community so in this month of giving we want to work together with community members, partners, and participants to give back to the Bronx! KHCC gives back to the community yearly by hosting events and initiatives that promote the improvement of its participants and the larger Bronx Community.

KINGSBRIDGE HEIGHTS, the Bronx (PIX11) – With the holiday season upon us, a Bronx nonprofit is working hard to ease the burden so many families face when dealing with economic hardships and food insecurity. The 10,000-square-foot building along Kingsbridge Terrace in the Bronx used to be a police precinct. But for the last 50 years, it’s been home to Kingsbridge Heights Community Center (KHCC), a safe haven where the Bronx community can socialize, learn and grow.

2020 revealed how long and how tough circumstances have been for our community in that security and planning for the future disappeared in the blink of an eye.
