💚 IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK 💚 Thank you to everyone who came out to McGolrick today to drop off scraps, smash pumpkins, and volunteer with us! It was great to see so many familiar faces and share in some moments of joy. We couldn't do what we do without this community and today illustrated the power, importance, and resilience of that community. Thank you for the warm welcome back. See you next Sunday!

THANK YOU to our community for helping us raise $2,500 to support continued community care across North Brooklyn. THANK YOU to everyone who shared their baking talent, time, and money to help keep our neighbors fed and supported. We’ve always been a group of neighbors helping neighbors, and Saturday was a beautiful reminder of exactly what that means. & THANK YOU to @upstatestock.bk for generously lending us their space! More bake sales to come 👀 There are so many ways to support our work — check out the link in our bio to learn how to get involved. If you have an idea for an initiative or fundraiser, we’d love to hear from you! As always, sustaining donors help keep this work going month to month. Consider making a monthly donation to support ongoing community care 💛
