Donating today to Collective Focus Resource Hub will directly increase our capacity to bring food and clothing to thousands of high-need community members in 2024.

Collective Focus is a grassroots nonprofit that distributes food, clothing, emergency items to foster resourcefulness and neighborhood empowerment in Brooklyn, New York. Since our founding, our all-volunteer team redistributed over $900,000 worth of free essential resources to 70,000 Bed Stuy and Bushwick residents.

This year we built out our nonprofit structure and produced huge outputs for our community, while managing a drastic increase in needs related to the migrant crisis, which led to an 85% increase in our food pantry clients in the last year. 

We are working to provide resources and facilitate community building in our neighborhood through cultural events and neighborhood meetings, but in order to continue our momentum we need adequate funds to support our team anchors and cover the rising costs of rent for our space.

The $50,000 raised from this year's Winter Drive will cover our basic operating costs:

• Resource Hub Hub Rent 12 Months - $36,000
• Resource Hub Utilities 12 Months - $7,600
• Resource Hub Insurance, Accounting + Marketing - $6,400

With your support, we can not wait to see where 2024 takes us. This work is urgent, and our team is deeply committed to continuously expanding our ability to serve and build up our community through mutual support.
