East Brooklyn Mutual Aid Summer 2022 Grocery Request Form --- Solicitud de Entrega de Comestibles de East Brooklyn Mutual Aid (el verano 2022)
Dear neighbors, partners, and the East Brooklyn communities of Brownsville, Ocean Hill, Cypress Hills, and East New York: East Brooklyn Mutual Aid (EBMA) has an important announcement to make. For the past twenty-six months and throughout the pandemic emergency, our grassroots group has delivered groceries and fresh produce to our neighbors in East Brooklyn. *We are taking a summer break and will be operating at a limited capacity for 60 days starting July 7th and ending September 7th.* During this time, we will be focused on fundraising and on reorganizing into a food cooperative. **This form will reopen on September 7th. ** To neighbors who need additional help, we suggest you check out Get Food NYC or call 311. You’ll be able to get information about food pantries, Grab & Go Meals at NYC schools, benefits like SNAP and P-EBT, grocery stores that deliver including ones that take SNAP, and the Emergency Food Distribution Program, which brings food to people who are homebound without help and unable to afford other services. With gratitude to all, we commit to a future of collective care, community organizing, and radical transformation! In solidarity, East Brooklyn Mutual Aid
