Project Name: Brooklyn Based Essential Items Drop-Off/Distribution


For and by: Black and Indigenous peoples


About the creators: The Brooklyn Based Essential Items Drop-Off/Distribution is led by two Brooklyn natives whose passion for giving back to our community is rooted in the African concept of “Ubuntu, having compassion and humanity towards others.” While the COVID-19 global pandemic threatens to break the spirit and tenacity of our people, our goal is to offset this vicious hold by providing essential supplies to those in need.

Date: Sunday August 23rd 2020

Time: Starting at 1pm

Goal: $3,500

Location: Outside of the Brooklyn Museum - 200 Eastern Pkwy, Brooklyn, NY 11238

*Please note the project is in no way in collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum!

This Essential Items Drive stands united with the Black community in Brooklyn, NY to help empower Black and other indigenous peoples by providing essential items (see full list below). To jump-start our action, with this money we will be able to purchase these items for people that are disabled, elderly, children, non binary, women and men of color in Brooklyn, NY. We will also be hosting a drive where goods will be collected directly.
