Support Food Pantries
Friday, December 2nd, 2011
In a difficult economy such as the one we’re experiencing now, food pantries are especially hard hit, experiencing more demand and fewer donations. If you’ve never donated before, why not consider doing so now–pick up a few extra nonperishable items the next time you’re at the store (see a list here), and drop off the bag at one of the following places in our area:
CAMBA Holiday Food Drive
Their annual holiday drive is a big event, and it continues through the month. But they always need donations, so keep this in mind year-round.
1720 Church Avenue, 2nd Floor
885 Flatbush Avenue, Room 202
Brooklyn College Food Drive
In partnership with Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs, designated drop-off sites are placed throughout the campus.
2900 Bedford Avenue: through Friday, December 9
Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs’ Community Service Offices
As part of the Flatbush Community Food Partnership, the offices collect food on an ongoing basis.
2294 Nostrand Avenue (between Avenues I & J): Monday-Thursday, 10am-5pm, Friday, 10am-2pm
1414 Cortelyou Road: Thursday, 10am-5pm
Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church
The emergency food pantry has seen increased demand this year. Drop off anytime, but keep in mind the church is closed after 4pm on Mondays.
424 E 19th Street at Dorchester
