Representing the diverse 21st Senate District in Brooklyn, which encompasses Flatbush, East Flatbush, Flatlands, Midwood, Ditmas Park, Kensington, Windsor Terrace and Park Slope, Sen. Parker, a lifelong Brooklyn resident, who has been a Flatbush resident for more than 31 years, will deliver the back-to-school supplies and interact with families, during the five-hour giveaway festival.

The first come, first serve, day of fitness activities, children’s activities, music, youth programs information, cultural arts performances, raffles and much more, is free and open to the public, while mask and social distancing rules apply.
