Designer Showhouse: Join the Benefit Committee for our Opening Night Party

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Opening Night Party on Wednesday, September 30.  This party is the marque event of the Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse and we hope many of you will attend. Individual tickets for the party will go on sale within 2 weeks.  We rely on the generous support of our community to make this biennial fundraiser a huge success. 

Proceeds from the Showhouse go to support all of the important work we do.  We invite you to show your love for the BHA by joining the Benefit Committee. 

As a thank you for joining, all Benefit Committee members invited to join the party for an exclusive preview an hour before the opening night party begins.  This is a great opportunity to see the rooms and have one-on-one conversations with the designers. 

Benefit Committee members will be recognized on the official party invitation and in the Showhouse.  Please consider joining - click on the button below for all the details! 

Thank you to our event sponsor, City Point, for supporting our community and this event!

Montague Street Wins Greenest

Commercial Block Award!

Congratulations to Estella Johannesen, owner of James Weir Floral for being awarded first place as the Greenest Commercial Block. And thank you to the Montague BID for supporting Estella's work!

The Greenest Block in Brooklyn is an annual contest run by the Brooklyn Botanical Garden to recognize those communities who shine in streetscape gardening.  Find out who else was recognized in this Brooklyn Eagle article.

The BHA applauds Estella's commitment to the trees and the street tree plantings along Montague Street and the award winning block  (Henry to Hicks Street).  

We hope everyone is enjoying the benefits of her green thumb along with the additional planters and seating installed by the BHA which contribute to a green and beautiful street for all to enjoy!

Three Volunteer Opportunities to Address

Food Insecurity

Sandwich Making on August 17

Looking to give back to the neighborhood? Help fill the Brooklyn Heights Community Fridge! Join the BHA and your neighbors to make some sandwiches. On Monday, August 17th, from 5 to 6pm, volunteers will prepare, wrap, label and deliver over 100 sandwiches to the Community Fridge. The food prep will take place in the BHA conference room, located at 55 Pierrepont Street, 2nd floor.

In order to cover the cost of supplies, we are asking all registrants to make a $10 donation to the BHA's food fund.  Register here.

Clean the Community Fridge any Monday

As part of a community-wide partnership, the Brooklyn Heights Association has committed to clean the Community Fridge every Monday morning.  We are looking for more volunteers to help out here. A shift only takes 10 minutes and keeps this invaluable community resource running. 

Sign up for shifts here and someone from the BHA will be in touch with details.  Your time is greatly appreciated.

Support CHiPS

CHiPS (Community Help in Park Slope) moved its pantry program from their 4th Avenue headquarters to a 4,000 square-foot warehouse at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The new warehouse has allowed CHiPS to greatly expand their capacity, especially for mobile pantries. 

They are now in need of more volunteers,  especially Wednesday & Friday mornings (8:30AM - 11AM). The work requires lifting. If you’re interested, please email them directly at volunteer@chipsonline.org.
