On Saturday, April 25th, join us for our annual Spring into Service event - a day of volunteer activities, including street tree care, mulching, litter clean ups and sandwich making for the Community Fridge.  Details and volunteer signs ups can be found on the BHA website.

We will once again be collecting new and gently-used books for kids ages 0-18 to support the Brooklyn Book Bodega along with supplies for new parents and their children in support of Little Essentials.  All the details on needed items can be found here.

Questions?  Want to get involved? Email our spring intern, Lucy Sullivan.

Our marque event and fundraiser, the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse will return this fall!  We are currently working to select a home to serve as the canvas for a beautiful redesign by a hand-selected array of talented designers. This will be our 5th Showhouse, and we are very excited to get started! 

Do you own, or know of, a single-family townhome in Brooklyn Heights that would be the perfect venue for this prestige event? 

The home needs to be available for the BHA's exclusive use from approximately June/July 2026 through mid-November 2026, with 12-20 rooms/spaces that can be redesigned or potentially renovated. The homeowner (and potential buyers if the house is for sale) will have the opportunity to reimagine the home and highlight its beauty through the eyes of these talented designers. Please visit the Showhouse website to see examples of previous homes along with the press coverage and exposure generated by the event. 

Please email us if you'd like to learn more or have ideas to discuss.

Join Borough President Antonio Reynoso at the Brooklyn Museum for his 2026 State of the Borough address on April 16th. The event will celebrate his last four years of service and hear what’s next for our borough.  Click here to RSVP

Have you heard? April is National Volunteer Month!  

Every month is a great month to give back, but this month, volunteer opportunities abound.  We've already shared the many projects happening for our April 25th Spring into Service, but did you know that April 25th is also our borough's day to give back?  Brooklyn Org's Volunteer Day offers a long list of volunteer activities, so if you want to look beyond the borders of Brooklyn Heights, check out their website for even more great projects.

Still not satisfied?  There are many incredible organizations that have regular or one-off volunteer needs.  Here are a few Brooklyn-based ones we'd like to share.  Have others?  Email us and we will include more volunteer opportunities throughout the month.
