After the @AldiUSA on Broadway was shuttered in the wake of the blizzard, my office worked with @CPeoplesStokes@markpoloncarz@johnsonleg1@mitch4fillmore to underscore the importance of reopening this store quickly, and today Aldi did just that. A small step with a big impact.
We still have space for our Fruit Tree Pruning class with @MassAveProject and Urban Roots on February 25, 2022. Details on registration can be found below!

Great news, Aldi on Broadway is now reopen! The store was forced to close in response to destructive looting that took place during the blizzard. But we could not allow this essential grocery service to remain closed while so many people in & around Broadway-Fillmore rely on it.

Our neighbors at Greater Eastside Fields of Dreams Block Club are hosting their annual community clean-up this Saturday at 10AM! Come out and help spruce up the neighborhood!
The Matt Urban Center is heartbroken and horrified by the attack at TOPS in our community. We stand in solidarity with our friends and neighbors and in opposition to all forms of violence and racial hatred. We hold the victims, their families and all those impacted in our hearts.
It's "a party, with a purpose." The @MattUrbanCenter created the #DoGoodOnDyngusDay social media campaign to inspire random acts of kindness and raise money for their center. #BuffaloStrong
