Southside United HDFC-Los Sures—a local non-profit committed to affordable housing, community development and advocacy in South Williamsburg—is celebrating their 45th anniversary this year, and kicking it off with a fundraiser on Wednesday, April 26th at 6pm. Freehold (45 South 3rd Street) will host the event. For tickets and sponsorship opportunities, contact [email protected].
“We hope that the community members will come out in large numbers to support our 45th anniversary fundraiser because it is through their involvement that we are able to provide the menu of services that we do,” said Los Sures’ Executive Director Ramon Peguero, Esq.
Over the years, their their mission has broadened, and now they not only help to develop and manage affordable housing units, but they also operate a weekly food pantry, hydroponic farm, and senior center and provide a variety of social services. They also run a local museum, El Museo de Los Sures (120 South 1st St.), which hosts artworks that celebrate diversity and the history of the neighborhood. Their next exhibit’s opening reception is on April 20th at 6pm.
