Please help us! 

We had a great time at yesterday's Greencycle Swap.  And based on the number of folks and amount of donations that came and went, we think that you did too!  It was perhaps our largest swap to date.  Unfortunately, the day ended on a down note for us.  But YOU can help!

Someone or some folks thought that the items behind our Greencycle Swap sign-in table yesterday were for the swap. They weren’t. SEVEN coats and a pink bag belonging to volunteers are missing along with a purse, an AirPod, a phone, high school IDs, metrocards, etc. that were in various pockets. We’re taking the position that someone took the coat(s) and other items by mistake. They belong to Abbey, whom many of you know and adore, and the middle school and high school volunteers who worked so hard all day. They largely come from families in need themselves, and are devastated. 

Descriptions and pictures of the missing items are below.  Please, please contact us at hello@townsquarebk.org or text/call Susan at 718.609.1090 with any info or to return them.  No questions asked. We just want to get them back to the students. 

6) A grey hooded puffer ajcket with yellow inner lining, youth-large (14-16)

7) A green and black hooded bomber jacket, youth-large (14-16)

8) A dusty pink Tommy Hilfiger bag. It is mostly dusty pink and the top part of the bag is brown. The shoulder strap is also brown. In the center, there is a silver Tommy Hilfiger symbol. Inside the bag was a small water bottle, $20, a small mirror, eyebrow gel, and Burt’s Bees chapstick.

Please!  If you thought you "scored" any of these items by mistake, please contact us so that we can return them to their rightful owners. 

8th Annual Spring Egg Hunt ~ 11 AM Hunt is sold out! Other hunts going fast!! 
Saturday, April 20th, 11 AM - 3 PM
FourFiveSix, 199 Richardson Street (Humboldt corner), Williamsburg, Brooklyn

 

It's April and our annual Spring Egg Hunt is in just a few weeks!  We'll be back at FourFiveSix in Williamsburg, a fun lounge with comfy couches and 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! You'll get to meet the Easter Bunny, enjoy eggstacular craft activities with The Art Table Studio and faces painted by talented Chico Mitsui of Hello Face Painting NYC. You'll also rock with Annie's Music for Kids (11 AM & 2 PM) and AudraRox (12N & 1 PM). You can have beautiful professional Spring Portraits taken by Sunrise, a wonderful and talented local photographer. Wear your colorful bonnets and join us to welcome Spring!

Buy your egg hunt tickets quickly! Tickets sold out last year. $15 tickets, with special mommy and daddy tickets for $5. Face painting, Spring portraits and cash bar are extra. 

   

The Spring Egg Hunt is a delightful community effort to help two local Boy Scout units: Greenpoint Cub Scout Pack 7 and Williamsburg Boy Scout Troop 26. 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.

 Our tiny non-profit does all this because we love it, and because these programs enrich the lives of our neighbors and community.  But we can only do what we do with your support.  We are writing to ask you to kindly make a donation of any amount to Town Square. All donations are tax-deductible. No amount is too small (or too big)!  We gratefully thank you in advance.
