HousingPlus June Fundraiser
HousingPlus, one of our core missions, is hosting a virtual fundraiser for the benefit of mothers and children (over 150 families and 95 children) who have found a home in the HousingPlus community. Old First’s Brooklyn Relief Kitchen has been supporting their food pantry, but BRK will be ending their support by end of June. We’d like to continue to support HousingPlus by making a donation of $1,000 to their fundraising effort. They plan to spend donations as follows:
- $500 will support children’s remote learning needs, including laptops, tablets and access to wifi.
- $250 towards restocking the HousingPlus food pantry for families to combat food insecurity.
- $100 purchases school supplies for HousingPlus children including printer paper, notebooks, pencils etc.
- Any amount will be appreciated!
If you want to learn more, join their virtual Movie Night event on June 10 at 6 p.m. There will be film shorts by and about HousingPlus followed by a panel discussion lead by the Rev. Susanah Wade from Marble Collegiate Church. Pre-registration is required, link here.
