Event Details

Brooklyn Indie Market Partners with St. John’s Bread and Life for a
Holiday Shopping Benefit -- Weekend of December 20th and 21st

Brooklyn Indie Market, a collective of fashion and product designers based in Brooklyn, will donate 15- 20% of its proceeds from sales (which will be doubled by a matching grant from Independence Community Foundation) during the weekend of December 20th and 21st, 11-7pm.  St. John’s Bread and Life is Brooklyn’s largest emergency food provider.  Members of the market gather to sell items each weekend at Smith and Union Streets in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

The shopping event will be part of Bread and Life’s “Give Where You Live Campaign,” which seeks to involve the local Brooklyn community in charitable programs.  The organization provides meals to more than 1,500 people each day both at its location on Lexington Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant and via its Mobile Soup Kitchen which makes deliveries throughout Brooklyn and Queens.  In addition to sales at the market, local designers, artists and merchants have donated prizes to be raffled off during the December 20/21 weekend, including designer clothing and accessories, art, dinners and bottles of wine.  Donations will help Bread and Life reduce poverty and hunger, which affects one in five of every New Yorker.
