How Can You Help Brooklyn Familes?

Join Brownstone's Feed the Hungry Fundraising Challenge
To ensure every American has access to the food they need, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced on April 17, 2020 the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP). The program will provide New York City families with school-age children approximately $420 per child.
In support of families in our community, the team at Brownstone Property Group, a family-owned Brooklyn company, plans to donate all funds received from the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. Brownstone cares about our community and is teaming with CAMBA, a Brooklyn family services organization providing housing and food assistance – to raise more money to help Brooklyn’s neediest.
According to CAMBA’s President and CEO Joanne Oplustil, “Nearly 1 in 4 families in New York City are in need of food assistance. At CAMBA’s Beyond Hunger Emergency Food Pantry, the number of meals we provide a month has increased 400% since February and the need is still great. One hundred dollars will provide four families with food for a week. We welcome the support from Brownstone.”
“In response to the recently announced federal food assistance grant of $420/child to all families of New York City School children, our team is rising to help,” said Anne Darer, Managing Agent and Associate Broker at Brownstone Property Group. “Brownstone’s people gratefully recognize 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 to CAMBA which provides housing and nutrition support to families in need in Brooklyn.”
This effort, which runs from June 19th- July 14th aims to donate ten thousand dollars to CAMBA’s effort, by raising five thousand dollars from the community and by matching all funds received up to five thousand dollars.
