The Give Gang, a new community-giving program, is directed by Michael “Zaki” Smith, one of the barbers at Miracle’s Barber Shop located at 473 Myrtle Avenue between Washington Avenue and Hall Street. The goal of the program is just as the name implies…to give, and in this case, to those in need.

The Give Gang has partnered with Zaki’s workplace, Miracle’s Barber Shop, in this latest effort– a school supplies drive to benefit children at local shelters, including the Auburn Family Shelter here in Fort Greene.

Interested in donating? Please drop off supplies, including notebooks, pens, pencils, loose leaf paper, and book bags between now and August 31st to Miracle’s Barber Shop at 473 Myrtle Avenue between Washington Avenue and Hall Street.

Call (347.406.2911) or email (thegivegang@gmail.com) the Give Gang with questions, to donate or to arrange a donations pickup.

Let’s help our kids be prepared for the new school year.
