 Brooklyn Indie Market Hosts Annual Shopping Benefit for Brooklyn Community Housing and Services


Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn-December 12 and 13
marks the third annual shopping benefit sponsored by Brooklyn Indie Market, an up and coming designers market. Indie designers donate 10-15% of sales to benefit Brooklyn Community Housing and Services, committed to ending homelessness in Brooklyn by providing safe, clean supportive housing each year for nearly 700 women, children and men. Saturday and Sunday 11-7 support your community by shopping local and know you are helping the homeless in Brooklyn. Take the F/G to the Carroll Street Station.

“We are extremely grateful that Brooklyn Indie Market has chosen to help BCHS in its efforts to end homelessness in Brooklyn,” says BCHS Executive Director Jeff Nemetsky.  “The Market is a shining example of how compassionate citizens are helping build socially rich and economically vital communities in Brooklyn.”

 

Brooklyn Community Housing and Services was founded in 1978 as a grassroots response to the Carter Administration’s call for the creation of community-based programs for the mentally ill.  During a 31 year history, BCHS has helped thousands who were in crisis achieve independence, and are ready to help thousands more in the future – until the day that homelessness no longer exists, and until the day that our local communities are as socially rich, and as economically vital, as possible. Visit www.bchands.org for more info.
