Our annual Spring into Service event will be held on Saturday May 4th from 9am to 4pm. Here is where we need your help:

PROJECTS

Clean up Hillside Dog Park; 9am-1pm @ Hillside Dog Park.  Bring your dog (or not) and join volunteers to spread some wood chips, help care for trees and remove trash. No sign up required.

Spruce up PS8; 10am-12pm @ 37 Hicks Street. Volunteers are needed to help with some ad-hoc projects including assembling furniture and sorting books. Sign up for a one-hour slot here.

Take Care of our Neighborhood Trees; 10am-12pm meet @ 45 Monroe Place. In partnership with Council Member Lincoln Restler and Big Reuse, volunteers will clean out tree pits, weed, cultivate soil with compost or mulch, and sweep tree beds along Monroe and Pierrepont Street.  Sign up here.

Stock the Community Fridge; 10am on @ 124 Henry Street.  It takes a village to support a community fridge.  Sign up to clean out and help stock ours.

Build Furniture for Asylum Seekers; 1pm-4pm @ St Ann's Church.  Sign up to help build and pack up IKEA furniture to be distributed by Ruth's Refuge.  This project also needs funding to purchase and transport the furniture.  You can donate directly to The Service Collective.  Have access to a moving truck?  Please email Amanda.

IN-KIND DONATIONS

Donate Books, Clothing and Gear for babies and children 10am-2pm @ Pierrepont Playground (Pierrepont Place side.) We are collecting new and gently-used books (appropriate for children and youth ages 0-18 years) and children's supplies (for babies through 5 years old) to support our partners Brooklyn Book Bodega and Little Essentials. Please check our webpage for details on what we can and cannot accept. Fresh Direct bags also welcome. 

Donate Diapers online - Little Essentials is in urgent need of diapers. You can purchase them (and some other items) directly from their Amazon Wish List.

Thank you to DUMBO Moving and Storage for delivering these items to their new homes.

We are thrilled to bring back the beloved BHA Dog Show - this year at Montague Open Streets Dog Days on May 19th!  Thank you to our Volunteer Dog Show Director Grace Flintermann for helping to make this a reality! 

We have six (6) categories of competition:  Best Trick, Best Tail, Best Ears, Looks Most like Owner, Most Adorable (up to 50 pounds), Most Adorable (over 50 pounds).

You are welcome to register for as many categories as you like. There is a limit of 25 doggie contestants per category and we'd like to involve as many Brooklyn Heights dogs (and their owners) as possible.

Registration is $15/category with all fees being donated to PawsNY - a local nonprofit organization providing services to vulnerable New Yorkers who need support caring for their pets due to physical and financial obstacles.

The Dog Show will take place on Montague Street between Hicks and Henry beginning at 1:30 on Sunday May 19th. 

We can't wait to see you and your precious pooches there!
