Breaking News!
We are proud to share this op-ed in Amsterdam News by Rose Sauls, Director of BCS`s Division of Services for People Living with Disabilities.
Her piece serves as a powerful reminder of the mental health services gap facing New York City`s youth and reminds us all, but most importantly young New Yorkers, of their own strengths and ability to make a difference.
We hope you`ll take a read (link in bio!) and join in on this conversation!

July was a hot one, but Brooklyn pushed through! βοΈ π
Thank you to everyone who helped make July a great month for our Food for Families Distributions, like local farmer Devonne (first picture, woman on the right). Devonne grows callaloo, a leafy green popular in many Caribbean dishes. Devonne joined us at our Seth Lowe Cornerstone distro, where her callaloo was being distributed to clients. While there, she gave clients her tips and tricks for preparing callaloo.
Learn more about Devonne`s farm and all the Caribbean crop goodness that she grows over at @thisisgoodground.
We are excited for all that is coming up in August, when we have NINE food distributions to come grab your green bag of fresh, FREE, groceries!

πΈ Flashback Friday!
160 years of serving Brooklyn and digging through our archives to find a letter from President Barack Obama makes this milestone even sweeter.
It`s been 10 years since that letter. And what a 10 years it`s been:
β¨ 10 years of navigating challenges alongside Brooklynites
β¨ 10 years of standing beside a community we love
β¨ 10 years of doing good things for good people, in the best borough in NYC π½
Here`s to the next 10. π
