Spring Cleaning with Greencycle Swap, Sat 4/14
Bring some! Or take some!
Spring Cleaning with Greencycle Swap
Saturday, April 15th, 12 - 3 PM
Leonard Library
81 Devoe Street (Leonard Street corner), Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Is it time for some spring cleaning? Do you have gently used items taking up closet space? Bring everything over to Greencycle Spring Cleaning Swap at the Leonard Public Library!
Bring some! Or take some!
No need to bring things to take things!
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Let's recycle, reuse and reduce.
MEN’S, WOMEN’S & CHILDREN’S CLOTHING, SHOES, BOOKS, TOYS, BICYCLES, PHONES, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS & ELECTRONICS. We will accept electronics until 2 PM.
Cleaned, gently used and working items please. No need to bring anything to take items. Out of consideration for others, we may limit folks to the 1 bag or the number of bags that you've brought to donate to the swap. We do not allow taking donated items to resell. Why? Because all remaining items are donated to local homeless shelters for neighbors truly in need.
We're delighted to partner with Home Life Services which runs five shelters in Brooklyn and Bronx, including one here in Greenpoint. Toys, books and children's clothing will be earmarked for their Albemarle Family Residence in East Flatbush; this shelter houses +180 children, ages 5 through 18! Please help these children and families while benefiting our environment.
$20 suggested donation a family to help cover costs. Town Square is a qualified 501(c)(3) not-for-profit institution. Your donation will be TAX DEDUCTIBLE to the full extent of the law. For more info, please contact Town Square at 347.559.1410 or greencycle@townsquareinc.com.
We couldn't do this without you and our partners: CM Stephen Levin, CM Antonio Reynoso, NYC DYCD, Just Sharin', truly awesome Boy Scouts of Brooklyn Troop 26, Brooklyn Public Library, Friends of Leonard Library, Friends of Greenpoint Library and Home Life Services. A huge THANK YOU!
And please stay in touch with us!

7th Annual Spring Egg Hunt
Saturday, March 31st, 11 AM - 3 PM
NEW venue this year:
fourfivesix
199 Richardson Street (Humboldt corner), Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Easter is early this year and our annual Spring Egg Hunt will be here before you know it! This year, the Egg Hunt will be held at
fourfivesix in Williamsburg. A fun lounge with comfy couches and a gorgeous backyard. Simply perfect!
As with past years, we'll have thousands and thousands of eggs. The hunts will be run in groups of 15-20 kids, and everyone will have fun! Families and kids will also get to meet the Easter Bunny, enjoy eggstacular craft activities and faces painted by talented Chico Mitsui of
Hello Face Painting NYC. You'll rock with
Esther Crow of
Thunder and Sunshine Band (11:30 AM and 2:30 PM),
DJ Natalie of
Baby DJ School (12:30 PM) and Audra & Jen with
AudraRox (1:30 PM). You can also have beautiful professional Spring Portraits taken by a talented local photographer. Wear your colorful bonnets and join us to welcome Spring!
The Spring Egg Hunt is a delightful community effort with parents pitching in to hide the eggs and run the hunts. Cub Scouts from Greenpoint Pack 7 and Boy Scouts from Williamsburg Troop 26 will also lend a hand.
Buy your egg hunt tickets quickly! Tickets sold out last year. $15 tickets, with special mommy and daddy tickets for $5. Face painting and cash bar are extra. Proceeds will help boys from not just one, but
two local scouting units! Wonderful, right?
P.S. If you're looking for a great brunch spot before or after your egg hunt, check out
Ringolevio right next door. A Mediterranean gem to die for. Psst...limited seating.
And please stay in touch with us!
