Item Description

The 'It Takes a Borough Fund' provides clothing, baby supplies and food for poor and low-income families in need throughout Brooklyn.  We ask for your help in providing a lifeline for those in our community who struggle to provide for their families and find themselves on the edge of crises in our ONE Brooklyn Community. 

A $250 donation will provide a one month supply of baby food and diapers.

Item Special Note

About the BCS Neighbor to Neighbor Fund: BCS works within under-resourced neighborhoods that have not benefited from the Brooklyn resurgence.  For many of the clients we serve, even minor emergencies can be devastating to providing basic client essentials for their families.  We work with families who struggle to provide formula and diapers for their babies, food and clothing for their homes, and school uniforms and supplies for their children. Unforeseen personal crises, changes in public assistance and natural disasters can destroy a family. With limited resources, BCS strives to be that lifeline for clients on the edge of crises.  Our hope is to gain reliable financial support to rapidly respond to the needs of ONE Brooklyn Community.
