ABC responds to the urgent needs of our families and the wider East Harlem community by developing programs that provide a wide range of services and create space for organizing and community building. Bunny’s Garden, ABC’s community garden located on East 124th Street, and the Dinkins Center for Equity are the current cornerstones of our community services.
Bunny’s garden
Bunny’s Garden provides children and families with an oasis in which to grow their own produce, learn about healthy eating habits, and explore nature. In the last year, the garden has more than doubled its harvest output and is now an official New York City Department of Sanitation food scrap donation site, making it even easier for community members to recycle their food waste and create nutrient-rich compost.

The dinkins center for equity
The Dinkins Center for Equity responds to the persistent and urgent call from families for more robust support and services in East Harlem and the South Bronx. From providing emergency legal support to undocumented families to the ongoing efforts of the Racial Justice Workgroup, ABC consistently combats inequities as they arise.
