Sign the Petition to Save Brooklyn Rescue Mission’s Farm!

In 2005, emergency food provider Brooklyn Rescue Mission partnered with local organizations to create an urban farm. They turned a vacant lot into an edible Eden that provides freshly grown food to thousands of needy Brooklynites. But the Brooklyn Rescue Mission, an emergency food pantry in Bedford-Stuyvesant, could lose half of Bed-Stuy Farm - its 5,000-square-foot facility on a long-neglected lot - if plans go through to build on it.

For more information, click here. They have an online petition here.
