Spring Planting at the Domenech
1505 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233
Friday, May 11th, 2018
2:00 - 5:00pm
10-12 volunteers needed
The Domenech in Brownsville, will be hosting their Spring Planting Event. The Domenech is home primarily formerly homeless, and low-income seniors. Volunteers for this event will help us to continue to provide our residents with beautiful living spaces both inside and out. We hope you’ll join us for the spring planting event, but be prepared to get your hands dirty, as we plan on and need help changing the soil in the raised planters in the back yard. Volunteers will be assisting us with digging up many pounds of soil in 6 beds, bagging the old dirt up, and then replacing it, all to take place before the actual planting. We’re looking for a group of 10-12 volunteers to help us with this special project.

Mission Statement
Breaking Ground’s mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Description
At Breaking Ground, we believe that everyone deserves a home.
That’s why, since 1990, we have been providing permanent affordable housing for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Beginning with a single building, we are now New York City’s largest provider of supportive housing. We own and/or operate 24 properties with over 3,530 apartments in New York City and beyond.
- For chronically homeless people, we create safe, secure housing with essential on-site support services to help them address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
- For those at risk of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-important safety net.
Our work has enabled more than 13,000 people to overcome or avoid homelessness since 1990, and we increase that number every single day. At the start of 2016, we have nearly 1,000 units of housing in various stages of development in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and are significantly expanding our Street to Home homelessness outreach program so that we can offer help to every single homeless person we meet.
