Closing Bell: Brooklyn TV Heads to Coney Island

Earlier this month Brooklyn Independent Television posted a feature on Sandy victims in Coney Island, and the recovery work tackled by Brooklyn Community Services. The BCS has distributed around $80,000 in aid, providing essential furnishings and beds to families. There are still 2,000 people in the BCS database who still need help months after the storm. BCS is collecting new linens, kitchenware, and children’s clothing for the spring and summer until Friday, March 29. You can drop off materials at the front desk at BCS headquarters at 285 Schermerhorn Street. Also in this episode, Brooklyn Independent Television attended a Coney Island job fair, which the Coney Island Alliance has held for four years. “The future is very bright for Coney Island,” said a member of the Coney Island Alliance about the ongoing collaboration in the neighborhood, post Sandy, to prepare for the summer season.
