Turn right once you exit the elevator and my office is straight ahead.

We hope to see you at one of these distribution events!

Assembly Member Harvey Epstein and I are launching a baby supplies drive for asylum seeker families residing in the district with the incredible help of the Open Hearts Initiative. Many asylum seekers arriving to New York are expecting parents, with babies and young children. We have seen government agencies, organizations, and community members step up in unprecedented ways but our office was recently made aware of the ongoing need for formula, diapers, and other crucial baby items.

The drive will run from March 11th - March 29th. Supplies can be dropped off at Assembly Member Epstein's office, 107 Avenue B (between 6th and 7th Streets) Monday - Friday, from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm. Items can also be ordered online through an Amazon Wish List or you can donate through Paypal which will be used to buy the most needed items.
