Over the last few weeks, Huntsman Architectural Group (@huntsmanag) has raised funds to support field trips for our Education and Youth Development programs. We are grateful for their fundraising efforts, which raised $2.5K, and we are excited about the new opportunities this will open up for Brooklyn`s youth to learn, explore, and grow!
Thank you to the Huntsman team!

Access to period products is essential to the health, comfort, and dignity of millions of people with periods. Yet, circumstances like homelessness, job loss, and rising living costs can prevent people from accessing this basic need.
This season, BCS is collecting period products for participants at our shelters, and we invite you to help keep these vital supplies available. We accept monetary and in-kind donations, including wrapped pads, tampons, sanitary wipes, and period underwear.
Every contribution helps ensure that shelter participants can access the products they need with dignity and consistency.
Learn more about how to donate or other ways to make an impact this giving season. 🔗Link in bio!

New space. New possibilities! 💻🎙️📸
BCS’s Seth Low Cornerstone program recently cut the ribbon on its brand-new Innovation Lab!
As FCBWD Deputy Director Chad Williams (first speaker in the video) noted, Seth Low`s computer lab needed an upgrade. It was a great space that needed a little pick-me-up.
Thanks to Amazon and the Public Housing Community Fund, Seth Low residents now have access to computers, podcasting equipment, and photo and video equipment to explore their creativity and try something new.
“I’m most looking forward to seeing the excitement from our participants and watching them take advantage of everything the Innovation Lab has to offer. I want to see them step outside their comfort zones, try new things, work together,” says Naomie Dawkins, Seth Low Program Director.
We can’t wait to see what our community creates!

Brooklyn stepped out and STEPPED UP! 💙👟
This Saturday, our community came together at Prospect Park for Step Up for Brooklyn, raising funds and awareness for BCS’s Community Cornerstone Programs.
The weather was perfect, the energy was even better, and BCS Board Member Laci Chisholm got us moving with a warm-up before we set out on a 2.5-mile walk through the park.
To everyone who walked, fundraised, donated, shared our posts, or helped spread the word: THANK YOU! Your support helps our Cornerstone programs continue providing youth programming, job support, community engagement, and resources for Brooklynites of all ages.
And we’re not quite done yet! We’re still just shy of our $10,000 goal.
Didn’t get a chance to walk with us? You can still Step Up and help us cross the finish line. 💙

Another month of showing up for our neighbors through Food for Families! 💙
We are sad to announce that October will be the final month of this program. While we’re sad to see it come to a close, we’re grateful for the time we’ve spent connecting with our communities and helping families access food across Brooklyn.
Join us for our final round of food distributions across BCS program sites. Swipe to the end for the full October schedule, and help us spread the word to neighbors who could use the support.
