HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE: GIFTS REQUESTED FOR THE CHILDREN AND ADULTS AT THE KENSINGTON FAMILY SHELTER

 
This is a request for donations of holiday gifts for the children and adults living at The Kensington Family Shelter. It's from Tracy and Catherine, our neighborhood's volunteer liaisons to the shelter.
Hello friends and neighbors,

We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and well. The holiday season is upon us, so it's time to spread some cheer to our neighbors living at the Kensington Family Shelter.  

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 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, who could have guessed that we would all still be here together for our ninth year?!  With so much grief and pain around the world, we cherish the opportunity to share in this act of community love and kindness.

Love,

Tracy and Catherine
