As many of you know, the Park Church Co-op (129 Russell Street) is not only one of Greenpoint’s coolest churches, featuring unorthodox events like rock concerts, dance parties and sound baths, but it’s almost exclusively run by volunteers and dedicated community members. They have many exciting events and projects in store, and they would love to see more folks in the neighborhood getting involved. If you’d like to volunteer for any of the upcoming opportunities below, you can email info@parkchurchcoop.org.

Letter Writing Campaign
There has been some community interest in organizing a letter writing campaign around promoting access to affordable housing in Greenpoint.

Haircut Ministry
Last year we held a successful event where we were able to provide fresh clothes and haircuts for the homeless in Greenpoint. We’d love to revive this project but need more volunteer support!

Children’s Play Group
Since the playground at McGolrick Park will be under renovations the Park Church Co-op is considering keeping our doors open for playtime hours in the winter. We’d like to get a group of committed parents from the community together who can help oversee such a project.
