Community Week at our Farragut Cornerstone was filled with connection, celebration, and hands-on learning! 🌋
Our young participants gathered for meals and received special incentives. Additionally, our Cornerstone hosted a fun STEM class, bringing science to life by having the students build their own erupting volcanoes!
What a fun way to close out the year together.

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.

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. 💙
