Halloween With Council Member Viverito

Hundreds of local youth and adults visited our safe, natural haven of Brook Park after-school on Halloween. With pumpkins provided by the NYC Department of Parks and recreation and a DJ funded through the Office of Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito, our community had a great family celebration. With healthy fruit alternatives to sugar candy, apple bobbing and marshmallow roasting under the changing leaves, it was a holiday to remember!

Halloween party success!

We hosted over 300 people for our Halloween party in partnership with Council Member Melissa Mark Viverito. The garden was decked out with hay bails and over 50 pumpkins for the youth to carve and decorate, thanks to the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation. There was apple bobbing with apples purchased form our CSA project, face painting, games and music. Thanks also to Freedom Community Resource Center, and Pueblo En Marcha and all of our volunteers.
