At FCBC, we pride ourselves on exemplifying what it means to live, love, and serve. Out of our purpose and passion for the community, we created Hope for Harlem. What started as a relief event amid COVID, has transformed into a community-wide event that provides Harlem residents with vital supplies and resources.It also serves as a beacon of hope and an opportunity for individuals, CBOs, unions, businesses, churches, and organizations to gather and be neighbors.
Hope for Harlem has proved to be a resounding success. Thousands of struggling families in need were helped. In 2022, our sponsors, 50+ vendors, organizations and volunteer efforts enabled us to provide: 750+ pieces of PPE; 1800+ diapers and swaddles; 30+ haircuts; 400 popcorn and cotton candy bags; 781+ ice cream cones; 1000+ backpacks and school supplies; 650+ restaurant donated small bites; 900+ full grocery bags; 900+ bags of fresh produce; 1800+ burgers and hot dogs; tons of vital testing, resources, literature and information to thousands of attendees. Additionally, we provided resources such as: health screenings, a live DJ, giveaways, and prizes.
In order to make year four a success, we need support of volunteers like you! We are seeking volunteers ages 14+.
