Our Members
We are comprised of community leaders, church leaders, emergency food coordinators, and social service providers in the Central Brooklyn area. By joining our alliance, emergency food operations and other social service organizations become connected to a variety of resources, including technical assistance, volunteer recruitment, program development and grant writing, workshops, as well as a uniting to create a collective voice in the community against hunger and poverty. Together, we aim to strengthen our programs, increase our knowledge, and assist our community.
