Every step makes a difference.

For 160 years, Brooklyn Community Services has stood alongside our neighbors, creating opportunities for people and communities to thrive. This fall, we invite you to be part of that legacy.

Step Up for Brooklyn is our community walk that brings together supporters, partners, volunteers, staff, and neighbors to take meaningful steps toward a stronger, more equitable Brooklyn.

Together, we`ll raise critical funds that directly support Brooklynites by expanding access to:

• Safe and supportive housing
• Health and hygiene resources
• Workforce development and vocational training
• Other essential services that help people build stable, independent lives

Registration and event details are coming soon.

For now, mark your calendar and plan to walk with us. We can`t wait to see you there.

Meet Gabrielle Wasserstein, Assistant Director of BCS Personalized Recovery Oriented Services!

For Gabrielle, the most rewarding part of her work is seeing how PROS can make a real difference in participants’ lives. Through consistency, care, and active support, she witnesses participants grow more stable, confident, and connected to their goals.

Gabrielle is also a steady support for the PROS team, stepping in to train staff, collaborate on clinical interventions, strengthen documentation, meet daily program needs, and consistently find new ways to advance the program.

This July, Gabrielle celebrates three years with PROS, and in August, she will mark one year as Assistant Director.

Thank you, Gabrielle, for showing up every day with care, leadership, and heart at the forefront. 💙

Imagine living in a city filled with grocery stores and still struggling to find affordable, healthy food.

Food for families shouldn`t be impossible.

Yet for too many Brooklyn families, it is. As grocery prices continue to rise, food assistance programs face uncertainty, and too many neighborhoods remain food deserts, putting fresh, nutritious food on the table becomes an impossible choice.

That`s why BCS`s Food for Families program exists.

In partnership with @BrooklynSupportedAgriculture, we`re helping bring fresh, locally grown produce to more than 10,000 Brooklyn families each year.

But the work isn`t done.

Every family deserves access to healthy, affordable food, no matter their ZIP code. Until that becomes a reality, we`ll keep showing up, one grocery bag at a time. 💙
