Halstead Helping Hands & New York Cares Partner At Red Hook Community Farm
Halstead Property and our philanthropic arm, Halstead Helping Hands, was proud to partner last weekend with New York Cares for a successful day of volunteering to help beautify green spaces around New York City. Over 5,000 New Yorkers were out in full force with a goal to “green up” 68 parks throughout NYC as we approach the warmer months.
Over 20 members of Halstead Property including sales directors, agents, and staff concentrated on the Red Hook Community Farm (Added Value). The group assisted in various compost-related tasks like soil bed building, seed starting, turning the compost, and helping get the farm ready for spring. After our agents were done the farm was ready to use for the Spring/Summer for Added Value.
Added Value is a non-profit organization whose mission is promoting farm-based learning and youth empowerment. By promoting the sustainable development of Red Hook and nurturing a new generation of young leaders, they enable the youth of South Brooklyn to expand their knowledge base, develop new skills and positively engage with their community.
Thank you to the following Halstead Agents, Execs and Staff:
John Wollberg, Trish Martin, Gerard Splendore, Janette Young, Amanda Barnes, Kris Kruse, Kim MacConnell, Fern Todman, Francine Port, Margaret Anna, Elaine Tross, Rachel Wood, Frank Assini, Lisette Gonzales-Cortes + her parents, Diane Longo, & Kirsten Syrett
We look forward to sharing more success stories from the next Halstead Helping Hands event, and are reminded that it’s never too late to pitch in.
