Come through and support our growing youth-run far Come through and support our growing youth-run farmers' market! The market is managed by the young people in our Environmental Program & runs every Weds until Nov 25, providing fresh food to over 2,000 community residents in an area deemed a food desert due to the lack of quality supermarkets and access to fresh produce. This year, this is in addition to the over 200,000 meals we have provided during weekly food distributions to our youth and our community in response to the #COVID19 crisis.

Did you know your gift to Bro/Sis counts 2x today? Did you know your gift to Bro/Sis counts 2x today? Two Bro/Sis donors have pledged a Matching Gift up to a total of $50k, and we are so close to our goal! โ  โ  As you know, we've expanded our efforts in light of #COVID19 - we've provided over 150k meals, disbursed over $75k of financial assistance, increased mental health care for our young people, and provided over 100 laptops to enable remote learning. โ  โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ  Our emergency efforts will continue for the foreseeable future, but we need your help to do this work and continue to support the growing number of families that are have been especially hard hit during this crisis. Please consider giving what you can via the link in our bio! It would mean so much to the thousands of young people we serve year-round.โ  .โ  .โ  .โ  #BroSis25 #doubletheimpact #changemakers #investinyouth #socialjustice #matchinggiftchallenge #justice #love #positivity #community #support #nyc #harlem #blacklivesmatter #blackled
