Give Back, Brooklyn
/
In a time so wrought with corporate greed and abused power lies a quiet constant that may never disappear. When we, the people, seem so wrapped up with physical goods, we find that a stronger group of citizens who look beyond their smart phones is among us. I speak, of course, of the quiet force of volunteer work being done in NYC.
To our surprise, we discovered that all the major holiday volunteer spots had been filled up by New Yorkers wanting to help any way possible. Perhaps, people think that sort of thing isn’t something worth noting, but we think it is. In an age where selfishness is almost encouraged, volunteer work seems as though it would be forgotten with the times, buried in the same graveyard the typewriter and the floppy disk have been laid to rest. But it hasn’t. Instead, hard times have encourage a surplus of volunteers in 2019.
So, we ask our readers to look around Brooklyn and see it for what it is. See the beauty in it, but also see that, just like any other city, it can use a touch of humanity and compassion. With the holidays right around the corner, Stay BK feels that the best way to celebrate Brooklyn is to rise above the muddied waters of corruption and egomania, and give back to the city’s people.
Here are a few locations still looking for volunteers this holiday season!
