Your gift impacts the lives of families daily
Helping neighbors happens every week at Brooklyn Rescue Mission food pantry.
Fifteen volunteers and Brooklyn Rescue Mission's staff provide food to people in need. Just this week, a community resident took our donation of her three food bags and her 50 pounds of white potatoes and carrots to her home and neighbors. She said it was a great help to my neighbors, and your support helped the program help families feed their children in the building where I live.
Brooklyn Rescue Mission provides hope and encouragement to families fighting poverty and hunger. Your gift is a way to make a difference in the lives of families in New York City 1.4 million live below the poverty line, and nearly 15% of Brooklyn residents are food insecure; that is over 350 thousand people in need of assistance. Your $25 or $50 gift will assist Brooklyn Rescue with providing hundreds of bags of food to families with nutritious meals every month. You can help to fight hunger and poverty in New York City.
Over one thousand families are registered at our food pantry, a lifeline for many needing food assistance. Brooklyn Rescue Mission has fed our pantry guests with farm-fresh, healthy foods from our local urban Bedstuy farm, local food distributors, and regional farms for the last 20 years.
Every week, Brooklyn Rescue Mission receives visits from families who are hungry and distressed; they are worried about inflation, rent, and where and when the family's next meal comes from. Your contribution will significantly insignificantly ese at-risk families who are food insecure and worried about their next meal.
A $ 50 or $ 100 gift will help provide good food for hundreds of families all year round. Please consider this spring and this summer to keep families fed.
Sincerely
Rev. Robert Ennis Jackson
