The Legacy Center Community Development Corporation (TLC) provides relief and development help to impoverished communities and families. It is relentless in moving people forward in achieving their ultimate potential. TLC fights to see people change for life and not just for the moment. To take every step with intention. To live life on purpose. TLC sets out to not only help people in their situation, but out of their situation to be able to create a self-sustaining and productive life.
To change the communities of Bushwick, Ridgewood, Glendale, and East New York for the good.
MARKETPLACE - At The Legacy Center The Marketplace was developed to fight the effects of poverty and underemployment by providing FREE groceries funded through Trader Joe's, Riverfund, Food Bank, United Way and HPNAP grants. In addition, donated non-food products come from a combination of private donors and Legacy Center partners (e.g. World Vision, etc.) During 2019, 6,345 families received thousands of pounds of FREE groceries. In addition, all of our guests received information and are connected to partnering agencies for additional support and resources (e.g. job placement and training, housing, immigration services, etc.).
In an effort to preserve family traditions and values The Legacy Center is intentional about making the holidays brighter for our unemployed, underemployed, and underserved community members. To that end we provide meals and gifts during the holidays-meals which families can prepare themselves and gifts parents can give to their children Christmas morning. These initiatives are supported 100% by private donations (GIK).THANKSGIVING - Via our Marketplace distribution point, 456 families received Thanksgiving Dinner baskets complete with a whole chicken, ham, roast pork or a turkey, along with vegetables and dessert. Recipients include families served through TLC's Marketplace, and families living in NYC shelters. 209 cooked meals and 750 bags of canned goods were donated to NYC shelters.CHRISTMAS PRESENTS - Via our Marketplace distributon point, 537 families were served. Over 1,500 Christmas gifts were distributed to local children at a special, 2-day Christmas outreach event we called Santa's Toyshop at The Legacy Center.
LEGACY SCHOLARS: The Legacy Scholars program is for Middle Schoolers. In 2019, this program offered a music song writing and production program to 16 junior high and high school aged youth.
