SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE: Another Brooklyn organization, the Arab-American Family Support Center, is holding a school supply drive to support low-income immigrant and refugee families in the community. The September 1 event will also feature a youth showcase.
Supplies such as backpacks, notebooks, pens/pencils, art supplies, are being collected for Low-income immigrant and refugee families, who face the highest economic pressure to provide school supplies and essential items for their children. Donors can visit the AAFSSSC at 384 Atlantic Avenue (between Bond and Hoyt) in Boerum Hill, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays, making sure to let the front desk know that the errand is a school supply drop off.
