BED-STUY, BROOKLYN Bed-Stuy s Campaign Against Hunger got a $125,000 boost this week thanks to a new grant from the Brooklyn Communities Collaborative, the organization announced.
The neighborhood food pantry was among seven nonprofits that received part of BCC s Strong Communities Fund, which is aimed at helping Brooklyn and New York City as a whole recover from the coronavirus crisis.
The Campaign Against Hunger which has played an integral role in addressing unprecedented food insecurity since the start of the pandemic was given the largest slice of the $338,000 in funding. BCC has committed to giving out $3 million total to help with pandemic relief.
“Hospitals are some of the largest purchasers and hirers in the borough, and it’s a shame not to leverage our own communities to meet those needs,” Suchoff said.
The hub will work with Maimonides and One Brooklyn to review current vendor lists and identify where local businesses could fill needs, she said. That includes HVAC services, office supplies, catering and furniture procurement.
The vendor program is in the analysis stages now, and connecting businesses to opportunities hopefully will commence by the end of next year, Suchoff said. The nonprofit recently received a grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation in Midtown to expedite the program, she said, adding that conversations with the city and the state government for additional funds are underway.
