A shoutout to our friends The Mission Continues NYC! 💗🙌

We deeply appreciate your support in BQLT’s Summer of Service program this year, helping us clean up & fortify our garden spaces and connect so many to nature and community in the process.

Can’t put it all better than Rodney Lugo, TMC Manhattan Platoon Leader & NYC Platoons Social Coordinator:

“This summer, TMC NYC in collaboration with BQLT, was an incredible experience that trulyembodied the Spirit of Community. Working alongside dedicated gardeners such as Ashley Cruce, McIntosh Garden, and Domica Roberts, BQLT’s Prog Mgr, showed how much gardens can blossom. When we came together to care for gardens, the community noticed, were intrigued and inquired about them. We’re grateful to have been part of a partnership that nurtured connection and purpose alongside a shared commitment of urban sustainability through community gardens.” 💪💪

Help us keep the synergy of these partnerships going for the benefit of so many! We have reached 61% of our end-of-year fundraising goal. We hope to get to 100%. Please donate. Link in bio! 🤑💚
