Farragut, Ingersoll Community Centers to Host Mother's Day Events

Two local New York City Housing Authority community centers will hold events to celebrate Mother's Day this weekend for participants of citywide fatherhood programs. 

The NYC Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) will host events Saturday, May 11 at the Farragut Community Center and Ingersoll Community Center in Fort Greene.

From 1-4 p.m. at the Farragut Community Center, located at 228 York St., children will participate in arts and crafts. 

From 3-5 p.m. at the Ingersoll Community Center, located at 177 Myrtle Ave., mothers will be treated to a luncheon, which will include guest speakers and presentations by children.

The Mother’s Day Recognition events will be open to all father figures who participate or have a child who participates in DYCD programs.

At the gatherings, which are meant to recognize the importance of effective co-parenting and celebrate mothers and female caregivers, fathers will assist their children in creating a work of art that the children will present to their mother or caregiver on Mother’s Day.
