CM Banks Is Hosting a Free Senior Resource Day on Vermont Street. Here's What to Expect.

What to Know

Council Member Chris Banks is hosting a free outdoor resource fair for seniors in District 42 on Vermont Street in East New York. The event runs from 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday, June 27, and is co-hosted with the Parodneck Foundation, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit that focuses on housing and community services for low-income and senior residents.

The event features giveaways, wellness activities, and refreshments. It is held directly in the neighborhood on Vermont Street, between Linden Boulevard and Stanley Avenue. No registration is needed. Walk up and participate.

Who the Parodneck Foundation Is

The Parodneck Foundation has worked in East Brooklyn for decades, focusing on affordable housing preservation, homeowner assistance, and services for low-income and senior residents. Co-hosting with CM Banks puts two community resources in the same place on the same day.

Why This Matters

East New York has a significant senior population. Many seniors in the neighborhood live on fixed incomes and face housing instability, health barriers, and limited access to city services. A free outdoor event hosted by the district's council member and a local nonprofit gives seniors a direct point of contact with resources in their own neighborhood, not across a borough.

If you have a senior family member in East New York, pass this along. The event is free, outdoors, and a short walk or ride from most of the district.
