BIRDS FOR
BROOKLYNITES
South Brooklyn community groups donate
turkeys to feed hundreds of families
BY JESSICA PARKS
A trio of south Brooklyn community
groups banded together to hand out a
squawking 150 turkeys, treating families
to birds that one do-gooder compared
to a luxury car.
“The director of the soup kitchen
called it ‘the Rolls Royce’ of turkeys,”
said Steve Saperstein of Shorefront Coalition.
The volunteer group teamed up with
NYPD’s 60th Precinct and the IS 303
Brooklyn-Kiwanis Builders Club to distribute
Brooklyn fi nest fowl to hungry
locals throughout the borough.
One mother was thrilled to learn
she’d have the chance to cook a turkey
for her disabled daughter, who’s due
back from the hospital on Thanksgiving
weekend.
“I was surprised because I emailed
about a week ago,” said Janelly
Ramirez. “The day I had to take my
daughter to the emergency room, I got
the email so I was very surprised and I
am very grateful for it.”
Ramirez’s turkey was delivered to
her directly, but many Thanksgiving
birds were left to soup kitchens and
food pantries, where volunteers coordinated
the donations to needy families.
A few dozen turkeys were donated to
the food pantry at Gravesend Houses —
a NYCHA public housing community
— which will provide 26 families in the
affordable housing complex with a hot
turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, said
the Gravesend Houses Tenant Association
president.
“Every day we service over 50 people,”
said Deborah Carter. “We had 26
families that didn’t have a turkey, so
between today and tomorrow those turkeys
will be out of here.”
Shorefront Coalition co-founder
Lev Ekster secured the donation of 150
birds from NetCost Market — a Russian
and European specialty food store
— and police offi cers from the 60th Precinct
joined other volunteers to drop off
the birds via squad car over the course
of three days.
And as per tradition, the IS 303 Kiwanis
Builder Club brought along
three young student volunteers, which
the school program’s facilitator said
helps teach the children kindness and
generosity around the holidays.
“Every year I lead the students from
I.S. 303 Kiwanis Builders Club in a coordinated
turkey delivery with the
NYPD 60th Precinct community partners,”
said Mario Caggiano. “This is
extremely important because it teaches
children to be selfl ess and show care for
others in the community.”
Twenty Empire kosher turkeys were
provided to Mabia Soup Kitchen which
the executive director said would feed
250 people on Thanksgiving – and other
turkeys were donated to community
centers, single-parent families, victims
of domestic violence families, local
churches and mosques.
