The Brooklyn Nets and and their official hospital, the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have teamed up to launch “The Brooklyn Nets Food Pantry presented by HSS” at a Brooklyn elementary school.
The pantry will be located at P.S. 308, Clara Cardwell School, in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood – an area where food insecurity impacts approximately 26 percent of the population according to Food Bank For New York City. The Nets have worked with the Food Bank on four “pop-up” food pantries at Barclays Center since the pandemic began last March. Citywide, as many as two million New Yorkers are considered food insecure.
