Dear Friends and Supporters,

Your generous support today can make a lasting impact in the lives of families across Brooklyn. By donating to Collective Focus Resource Hub, you’ll help us meet the growing demand for food, clothing, and essential resources throughout 2025.

Collective Focus is a woman-, POC-, and LGBTQIA+-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering neighborhood empowerment. We host 5 food distributions per week, daily access to free clothing, culturally enriching food events, and artist support programs.

Thanks to your contributions, as of November 2024, Collective Focus has redistributed over $1,323,830.34 in free resources to serve 100,000+ families in the Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick neighborhoods.

However, with inflation, rising food costs, and the increased arrival of new migrants in our community, we are facing unprecedented demand for our services. To meet this need and sustain our programs, we are launching our Winter Fundraiser with the goal of raising $40,000.

This funding will directly support:

Resource Hub Utilities (12 months): $6,200
Resource Hub Insurance (12 months): $5,200
Volunteer / lead shift pay: $10,100
Maintenance Fund for Community Refrigerators and Hub Repairs: $3,500
Operations supplies and admin costs: $3,000
Supplies for food justice, studio, and events
Community needs fund (direct cash support to neighbors)
Wellness room upgrades
Outdoor Warming Lamps for Elderly Neighbors Waiting in Food Lines
Team trainings and political education

As we approach our fourth year at 1046 Broadway, we are proud to call Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant our home. With your support, we can continue serving and nourishing our neighbors well beyond food assistance.

Your donation today empowers our mission and uplifts our community. Thank you for standing with us.
