HeartShare’s Cornerstone after-school site gets makeover
Children enrolled in an afterschool program in Boerum Hill sponsored by HeartShare Human Services of New York are enjoying brand new amenities, thanks to a renovation of the program site that was made possible with donations from Habitat for Humanity and a furniture store.
The Wyckoff Gardens Cornerstone Program, operated by HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services, opened on Wyckoff Street in Boerum Hill last fall, but has been badly in need of a renovation for months, officials said.
Coming to the rescue were the nonprofit organization Habitat for Humanity and Quadra Furniture & Spaces, a well-known furniture rental business.
The renovation included refurnished classrooms, a new computer room and a new lounge, as well as a fresh coat of paint. Quadra donated the furniture.
