Give a Neighbor a Turkey!

Tue, Oct 10th, 2023

Will you help local families this Thanksgiving by supporting our turkey drive? Our goal is to provide turkeys and Thanksgiving groceries to 1200 families!

The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership is supporting One Community and many partners who operate the weekly Fort Greene Fresh Pantry, serving families from Farragut, Whitman, Ingersoll, and Atlantic Terminal Houses year-round. With your help, this November, each family that visits the pantry ahead of Thanksgiving on November 18 will also get a turkey and traditional sides for their holiday meal. 

ABOUT THE PANTRY

Since 2015, the Fort Greene & Farragut Fresh Pantry has been providing free groceries to neighbors and this year has seen demand grow nearly significantly. Through the pandemic, we moved to a delivery model and distributed over 1,500,000 lbs of food through 60,000 home deliveries. We continue serving families in need every weekend at three different pick-up pantry locations near the four NYCHA campuses in Fort Greene.
