Already in action, Angelmobile gets ribbon-cutting ceremony
Clergy and Civic Leaders Gather at Brodsky Trailer To Dedicate Mobile Soup Kitchen
North Brooklyn’s favorite power couple fired up the barbecues on North 10th Street and Kent Avenue. But on this occasion the bocce court behind Norm and Elaine Brodsky’s venerable trailer sat with no players because more serious business was afoot.
The North Brooklyn Angels on June recently dedicated their Angelmobile, a 31-foot NYC DOH compliant mobile soup kitchen and social service help center. Because of the urgency, the Angelmobile had already begun operations before the dedication ceremony.
The Angelmobile is designed to traverse the streets of North Brooklyn, providing essential services for people in the community who have not benefitted from gentrification and rising property values.
Capital funding for the Angelmobile was provided by Norm and Elaine Brodsky, in partnership with the Episcopal Ministries of Long Island, based on a concept developed by North Brooklyn Neighbors Helping Neighbors co-founders Neil Sheehan, Executive Vice President of Outreach and the Reverend John Merz, Vicar of Church of the Ascension in Greenpoint.
