Most of New York is still riding high on the Halloween sugar rush, but one section of the Bronx took a healthier alternative approach on Halloween day.

Local businesses in the Fordham section of the Bronx closed off Decatur Avenue and organized a community block party where kids and adults engaged in healthy eating and living.

Nonprofit organizations such as Provident Loan Society of New York, passed out granola bars, fruits and other snacks that didn’t contain unhealthy corn syrup.

“It’s really important for us to contribute to our local community. We all have a responsibility to make our neighborhoods better and healthier,” said Isaac Rodriguez, CEO of Provident Loan Society of New York, which is located on Decatur Avenue. “This healthy Halloween Street Fair was our way of giving back and doing our part to educate our neighbors on healthy living.”

Montefiore Medical Center and North Bronx Health Care Network also offered free blood pressure screenings and educated New Yorkers on the dangers of high blood pressure. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can lead to heart, brain, kidneys and eye damage when left untreated.

Children also participated in their own art exhibition. On Friday, children from the neighborhood carved pumpkins and their final “art work” was displayed on Saturday throughout Decatur Avenue.

The street fair was spearheaded by Shanequa Charles, the CEO of Miss Abbie’s Kids Inc.

“The Bronx has one of the highest diabetes rates in our city and diet is partially contributing to it,” said Charles. “Miss Abbie’s goal was to enlighten the community, marrying health and Halloween only makes sense. We wanted to organize a fun event that educated parents on how their diet is not only impacting their health, but also their children’s health.”

And for kids that dream of being a firefighter, the FDNY brought their trucks to the street fair and opened them up so kids could get a close-up view of their equipment.

“Hopefully, this alternative healthy Halloween inspired and educated our community to decrease their intake of sugar and take better care of their health,” said Charles.
