BRING FOOD SCRAPS AND LEAVES TO THE EAST FOURTH STREET COMMUNITY GARDEN

 

The East Fourth Street Community Garden is open to the public through October 31st from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Sundays.

Continue to drop off food scraps for the gardeners to use for compost through November 19th from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and from 10:00 a.m. to noon on Saturdays (no Sunday hours).

But don't leave food scraps by the gate, bring them into the garden. Food scraps left by the gate will be thrown away instead of composted.

Also, drop off your fallen leaves at the garden during its annual Fall Leaf Drive from October 19th through November 20th. Bring them to the garden on Wednesdays, between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and on Saturdays, between 10:00 a.m. and noon.

Just bring leaves--not garden trimmings, branches, roots, or litter. The gardeners will use the leaves to compost the food scraps that neighbors donate to them. Leaves are valuable "browns" (carbon-rich material) that balance the food scraps in their compost bins.

After November 20th, and until the garden reopens in April 2023, don't bring any compost or leaves to the garden.

The East Fourth Street Community Garden is part of the New York City Parks Department's GreenThumb, the largest community garden program in the United States.

KENSINGTON SATELLITE OFFICE OF OUR NEW YORK CITY COUNCILMEMBER

In today's edition of her weekly newsletter, New York City Councilmember Shahana Hanif discussed her satellite office in Kensington.

"Earlier this year, we opened up a satellite office in Kensington to better serve the community that raised me right here in Brooklyn. We opened our office in a popular Bangladeshi community space located at 118 Beverley Road in the main Kensington commercial corridor at the intersection of McDonald and Church Avenues. This office has served as a one-stop shop for so many people in Kensington. We’ve seen over 50 constituents out of this office, handling complex and detailed cases on immigration, public benefits, and housing assistance.

For months, we had several staff going back and forth between our offices, but as of this past week, I’m excited that we’ll have a staffer based right out of Kensington to deepen our work. I’m thrilled to welcome Ali Boivab to Team Shahana! Ali started as an intern in my office this summer and quickly became a rising community organizer. As our new Kensington Liaison, he’s ready to build relationships and advocate for Kensington at every opportunity. He has a passion for helping immigrant communities, intimately understands the struggle of accessing economic resources for newly arrived families, and is excited to organize the Bangladeshi community to fight for our shared political goals in City Hall. I’m so excited to have him back on Team Shahana and can’t wait to see what he does in this new role!"
