The Brooklyn Bank is pleased to announce our Third Annual Turkey and Christmas Giveaway.  Last year with your support, the support of several Brooklyn Notables and business leaders we distributed 300 bags of groceries to local families with the $21,676 raised. This year our goal is to increase reach to 350 families served, as well as adding a Holiday toy giving component for the children.  On November 22, our team will distribute turkeys with purchased essentials to afford some families a complete Thanksgiving meal.


In an effort to further our work in the community during this holiday season, in December, we will also be donating toys to local children as well as providing funds to other community organizations to assist in their holiday missions.   Your donations will help us make an impact on our community and help those in need have a joyous holiday experience.


I thank you in advance for your contribution. We are trying to raise $20,000 to fund both events.  Please keep in mind the more we raise, more families will benefit from your generosity.

Saturday, August 14th Haiti was devastated by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake.  Over 1,297 lives have been lost while schools, hospitals, churches, bridges and more than 13,000 homes have been destroyed.  Rescue workers are working vigorously to extract survivors from the rubble and debris.

Haiti needs our help! Friday, August 20th, 7pm - 11pm, The Brooklyn Bank will be hosting a fundraising event, Cocktails for a Cause 2.  We are accepting check donations (made payable to BkBnk Inc.) at event as well as digital donations.

100% of the funds collected will be distributed directly to relief efforts on the ground in Haiti. The Brooklyn Bank is also sending a team of volunteers to Haiti to aid with relief efforts.

You can help Haiti by joining us at Cocktails for a Cause 2 and making a contribution or sending a donation to The Brooklyn Bank.

In 2020, due to COVID 19 and fears of cross-contamination, many organizations stopped accepting clothing donations. Though this decision was made with public safety in mind, it left an ever-growing population of underserved New Yorkers with vanishing resources and limited access to quality clean clothes for themselves and their families, many of whom are single mothers.

In light of this widening disparity gap, and in honor of Women’s History Month, since February 2021, The Gift Shop BK has collected over 4000 articles of clothes, 500 men’s suits, and 375 women’s suits via donations, had all the clothing professionally cleaned, and then on Saturday, March 27th, 2021, transformed the beautifully restored Brooklyn Bank into a Boutique style environment where approximately 574 families and countless individuals from all over New York City were able to shop for free.

With our mission of helping the community find immediate and tangible support, with access to quality clothing in an environment that is both in line with their needs and respectful of their circumstances, we were also able to provide approximately 300 graduates transitioning into the workforce, and men and women displaced due to the COVID-19 pandemic with suits and other professional attire.  Each attendee also received curated Sanitary Care Packages; which included toiletries, feminine hygiene products, and other hygienic items.

Post-event, we’ve partnered with community organizations that will be receiving the remaining professionally-cleaned clothes from this round of collections and donating them to citizens in need throughout New York City.

It is our mission with The Gift Shop BK to assist our neighbors in accessing quality clothing in an environment that is both in line with their needs and respectful of their circumstances.

Help us make a difference.
