Where to share locally
Post your donation page on Nextdoor, local Facebook groups, and Instagram, share it with arts and small-business networks, and post flyers around Bedford Avenue, McCarren Park, and the waterfront. The Saturday greenmarket at McCarren Park is a good weekend touchpoint. Brooklyn Community Board 1 covers Williamsburg.
A local tip
Williamsburg is highly visual and social-first. A strong banner image — you can generate one with AI on KindRise — and an Instagram-friendly story will outperform a plain text appeal here.
See the Brooklyn fundraising guide or a neighbor: Greenpoint, Bushwick.
