Bay Ridge drive collecting pajamas, kids’ books for local non-profit groups
A drive for new children’s books and pajamas led by the 68th Precinct Community Council and the Bay Ridge Community Council is taking donations until April 1 for six different local organizations which help people in need.
Organized by BRCC Vice President Ilene Sacco and precinct council Vice President Kate Cucco, the drive succeeded in raising $700 dollars before its official start on March 6. Sacco said a portion of this money will be used along with future monetary donations to “buy cotton pajamas for PJ’s for Patients,” one program benefiting from the drive.
The other organizations that will benefit are Grandma’s Love, the Healing Center, Frankie’s Mission, the Neighborhood Improvement Association (NIA) and the Olivia Boccuzzi Foundation.
