Greencycle Back-to-School Swap Returns (finally!)

Written by in Education and Activism, Free, Volunteer Opportunities

After long months of pandemic isolation, Town Square emerged to offer its popular Greencycle Swap on a Greenpoint Open Street.  Droves of neighbors came out in September to donate clothes, shoes and books – and go treasure hunting.  Brooklyn Scouts Boys Troop 26 and Girls Troop 1G rolled up their sleeves to help a wonderful community event.  All remaining donations were given to NYPD Greenpoint 94th Precinct’s kids lending library and St. Mary’s in East Williamsburg.   So…simply…satisfying…
