In response to the recently announced federal food assistance grant of $420/child to all families of New York City School children, Brownstone Cares’ Team is rising to help. Our team gratefully recognizes our privilege to have a resilient company that has remained open and in service to our community throughout the Covid19 crisis. We decided to donate funds we receive to those in need. We have partnered with CAMBA, which provides housing and nutrition support to families in need in Brooklyn. Their food pantry clientele is up more than 400% since the start of the Covid19 crisis.
