A note to residents about The Kensington family shelter:
Hello neighbors,
Hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected in this challenging time. We have checked with the Kensington shelter staff, and they are not accepting donations at this time except for these three things:1. Pull-up diapers size 6/72. Baby wipes3. Small new or lightly used pots and pans -- quart-size only since these will be used on small stoves that are more akin to a hot plate.These can be dropped off or shipped to the shelter attention Uniquia Parker. The address is 385 McDonald Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11218.Please do not bring any other donations by the shelter; they will not accept them. We will keep checking back and will let you know when the situation changes.Thank you very much for your continued generosity and stay safe!Tracy and Catherine

Tracy and Catherine are neighborhood residents who began volunteering five years ago as liaisons between the shelter and the Kensington and Windsor Terrace neighborhoods.
Periodically throughout the year, Catherine and Tracy send e-mail to neighborhood residents with information about what the families need. Sometimes it's clothing, sometimes it's personal care products, sometimes it's holiday gifts, and sometimes, when we aren't social distancing, it's participation at parties or other events.
