About

Call/text (929) 243-4408 or email [email protected] for assistance.
 
In an effort to create solidarity in the community against economic disparity and systemic racism, we work with our most affected neighbors to create equity and transparency. Your donation will contribute to work with neighbors, including residents of 3 NYCHA houses, various local DHS shelters, and Asylum shelters.
 
Our programs help provide for basic needs, such as fresh local produce and groceries, fees for work and skill training, clothing, metro cards and cell phones for asylum seekers and the unsheltered, as well as give-away events — such as diaper distributions, holiday meals, back-to-school supplies. We also collaborate with other mutual aid organizations in Brooklyn.
 
Please help us by contributing to our fund below.  Any amount you're able to contribute will be gratefully accepted and put to good use. A monthly contribution, no matter how small, goes a long way towards sustaining our core programs. We appreciate your support and solidarity.
