Getting Our Hands Dirty in Brooklyn
Last week, ten G&T volunteers joined real estate leaders from across NYC at NYCHA Marlboro Houses in Brooklyn for the annual She Builds event, marking 10 years of the women-led initiative by Rebuilding Together NYC.
The team got to work revitalizing a community garden that residents have nurtured since the 1960s: replacing deteriorated planter walls with food-safe lumber, creating compost areas, and improving garden pathways to support residents' access to fresh produce.
She Builds empowers women to lead critical home repairs and community revitalization projects. This garden directly supports food security while strengthening the community bonds that make neighborhoods thrive. We're proud to show up and dig in for Brooklyn.
