Inaugural Greenmarket a Success!

Monday, November 24th, 2008

We want to thank all of the Park Slopians who braved the frigid weather to donate their textiles at the Grand Army Plaza greenmarket.The day was a success collecting nearly a ton of clothing.  Don’t worry! If you missed us this Saturday, we will be out there every weekend in collaboration with the CENYC.  We are located up the hill in the entrance to the park, not in the center of greenmarket territory.

This video was captured for Voice of America News over the summer. We appreciated the time they spent with us and think they did a nice job of depicting our business.  We can’t blame them for not making us look prettier.
