June. What a month?!

We enjoyed seeing every one of your shining faces at all of last month`s Food for Families distributions. We are so excited to see everyone this month as we continue to ensure Brooklyn has access to fresh and quality food.

New month, same great food distribution! 🥬💙

Join us today at Farragut Community Center to pick up a free bag of fresh food.

NYC is experiencing a heat wave, so if you plan to stop by, please remember to bring water, stay hydrated, and take care of yourself in the heat.

We can`t wait to see you there! Won`t make it? Swipe for this month`s distribution schedule.

The celebrations continue! 🎓🏁

Participants in our @YouthStandUnitedBK program had a weekend full of milestones, memories, and fun as they celebrated YSU’s graduating seniors.

The weekend began with a special graduation dinner honoring our seniors and all they have accomplished. The celebration continued the next day as program members, families, and staff headed to New Jersey for a fun-filled day at RPM Raceway, where they enjoyed go-karting, arcade games, and time together.

We are so grateful to create and share these moments with them.

Congratulations to YSU’s graduating seniors! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what you do next. 💙

Last week, we celebrated the 2026 graduating class of Brooklyn High School for Leadership and Community Service! 🎓💙

As a transfer high school, BHSLCS supports students who may have needed a different path, pace, or environment to complete their high school journey. This graduation was a powerful celebration of their perseverance, dedication, and courage to keep going.

Thank you to New York State Senator Jabari Brisport for joining us as this year’s keynote speaker and offering words of encouragement to our graduates.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what comes next.

School is out, summer is here, and our Cumbo Center Pre-K students are officially moving on up to Kindergarten! 🤯

This week, families gathered in the Cumbo Center Multipurpose Room to celebrate our 25 newest graduates as they received their graduation certificates and marked a very special milestone.

We are so proud of our students for all the learning, growing, exploring, and hard work they poured into this school year. We cannot wait to see what they go on to accomplish next, because this is only the beginning!

We are also deeply grateful to our Cumbo Center educators and Program Director, Ms. Perez, for the love, patience, care, and joy they bring into school every day. Their work helps nurture the future of Brooklyn, one bright young learner at a time.

Congratulations to our Pre-K graduates! Kindergarten, here they come! 🎓💙

This weekend, our BCS Fatherhood Program celebrated Father’s Day with its second annual Legacy Game, a powerful community celebration honoring the role fathers play in their children’s lives every day.

In partnership with Brooklyn Basketball, a basketball training center powered by the NY Liberty and the Brooklyn Nets, fathers and their children from across the community came together for a day of connection, competition, and celebration.

From the community tournament to family resources, supplies, and fun giveaways, to the pure moments of joy on and off the court, the Legacy Game was a beautiful reminder of what happens when fathers are supported, celebrated, and surrounded by a community that truly roots for them.

As Chad Williams, Deputy Director of BCS’s Families, Community Building, and Workforce Development Division, shared:

“[The day] was bigger than basketball. Bigger than giveaways. Bigger than an event. We created a space where fathers felt seen, families felt supported, and our community felt loved.”

Congratulations to our Fatherhood Program team, Brooklyn Basketball, and every father, child, and family member who helped make this year’s Legacy Game such a success. 💙🏀
