Please join us for a special evening to support our neighbors affected by the recent fire at 509 and 511 Amsterdam

A few weeks weeks ago, our block of Amsterdam Avenue between 84th and 85th streets suffered an unfortunate fire. Many of the residents have relocated and are facing challenging times, bringing us together as a community to support them. Our heart goes out to our neighbors.

We are proud to announce a month of fundraising that will culminate with an event at Maison Pickle on Wednesday 4/26, hosted by City Councilwoman Helen Rosenthal, Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Chairman Ken Biberaj and Director of the West Side Campaign Against Hunger, Chef Greg Silverman.
