Look back at Pride 2025!

Over the course a packed June, BCPC participated in 20 events across three boroughs and two states, providing opportunities for LGBTQ+ Brooklynites to show their pride everywhere! Take a look back as we prepare for Pride 2026!

Visit our Love Wins Pantry!

At a time when more than a fifth of New Yorkers are food insecure, BCPC has partnered with Love Wins Pantry to provide our neighbors with fresh produce every third Thursday of the month, 1-4PM. All are welcome!
