The Community Services team at Fifth Avenue Committee is a lifeline I believe every New Yorker should be utilizing. They really care about the people they're helping. Very knowledgeable about whichever field they are helping you in and will let you know when they don't know, which is VERY important if you ask me. Another thing that is truly fantastic about the Community Services team at Fifth Avenue Committee is that they realize people may need help down the line meaning they'll help you get back on your feet but say 3 years from now you need help guess what they will be there to help you again, no need to reapply or go through a frustrating onboarding process. Also Yannerys is a national treasure and must be protected at all cost.

I live in Bay Ridge Brooklyn and went to the Senior Connect Center (associated with 5 ave Committee ) for assistance with my SNAP . I was assigned a Social Worker , Ms Castillo who has been instrumental in helping me with my documents and was able to find mistakes made by HRA that only gave my father and I the federal minimum which is $23 a month . We are still waiting for a positive outcome that hopefully will come soon .

A fantastic organization I have been part of for almost two decades. The Fifth Avenue Committee helps the Brooklyn committee in so many ways it's hard to count. Simply put, helping the people who need it most! Keep it up FAC!!

It is my understanding that your organization is in the process of evicting two business owned by Black women. I find that this action, by your organization, is in direct contradiction to its mission statement. If the mission of your organization had changed, why wasn't the community notified. It is time that your organization explain themselves and answer to the community for this eviction of 2 businesses that have been viable and integral in the community for 20 years. So, FAC what say you? You get NO STARS, but I must give you one to post this review.

Where is your conscience? Is it all about the money to your company? Here you have a resident shop keeper TABEEL Aromatherapy Gifts and Salon who has been a great tenant never had any issues with her as a tenant in twenty years and this is the level of courteousy you give her. A thirty day notice, no conversation, no personal visit, silence.... How can you be a company who says they support small businesses and At the first opportunity to put more money in your pocket you are willing to throw her out. You claim it is for low income housing improvements, well where was your offer to her to relocate her store temporarily until the reconstruction was done. It never happened. You may print in the Park Slopes News that this is what your intentions were. But we know the truth and you should be ashamed of your self as a company's and as every individual who works for your organization. The community speaks and you will hear us!
