With the line seen all the way up the block to Mineva Place, the cold didn’t stop local children, bundled up in winter coats, hats, and gloves, from receiving a Christmas gift at 29 East 198th Street.

Their faces lighting up at the sight of the colorfully wrapped gifts, the kids seemed happy to escape the cold and get inside once their turn arrived.

One little girl’s nose was red from the cold but she was seen smiling nonetheless after receiving her gift.

Pharmacy owners, Jade Hack and Zaheer Hack, together with their son, Zedd Huack, donning Santa hats, were happy to host the toy giveaway for a third year and give back to the local community.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
