Help to give cheer to local children by donating toys to the annual Myrtle Avenue Toy Drive which will serve families living in NYCHA’s Ingersoll and Whitman Houses.

New unwrapped toys can be donated at the following locations:

[salon]718 – 456 Myrtle Ave
Hair & Co. Salon – 487 Myrtle Ave
Apple Bank – 418 Myrtle Ave
Just Because Salon – 141 Carlton Ave

VOLUNTEER LOCALLY

The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership is always looking for volunteers to
help with the Fort Greene & Farragut Fresh Pantry, which has been providing free groceries to families in need since 2015.
