A request for donations of gifts for the holidays for the children living at The Kensington Family Shelter. From Tracy and Catherine, our neighborhood's volunteer liaisons to the shelter.
Hello neighbors,We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and well. The holiday season is upon us, and it's time to spread some cheer to our neighbors living at the Kensington Family Shelter. We will be working with shelter staff on a few additional opportunities [stay tuned for details], but want to get the children's gift drive going so there is time to get everything delivered and wrapped.For the kids, you are welcome to order off the list and have an item shipped directly to the shelter, or you can purchase the exact item somewhere else and have it shipped or drop it off (the shelter is address is 385 McDonald Ave., Brooklyn, NY, 11218, and all items should be sent attention Uniquia Parker). Gifts have been hand-picked for each child, so we ask that you do not donate items not on the list. If you do purchase somewhere besides Amazon, please be sure to mark the gift as purchased on the list.Please note that, due to storage constraints, the Kensington Family Shelter is not accepting any other donations at this time.Thank you so much for your continued generosity. When this tradition began in 2015, we never imagined that we'd still be going so strong into YEAR EIGHT! The families and the shelter staff have been overwhelmed by your caring each year, and we know that 2022 will be no different.Love,Tracy and Catherine
