REVIEWS:
We like FREE but we also like supporting non-profits and NGO’s (non government organizations), Housing Works is one of New York’s finest non-profits out there. “Housing Works is the nation's largest non-profit minority-controlled AIDS service organization. Our mission is to reach the most vulnerable and under served among those affected by the AIDS epidemic in New York City, primarily homeless persons of color whose positive HIV diagnoses are complicated by a history of chronic mental illness and/or chemical dependence, and provide them with a comprehensive range of services designed to help them gain stability, independence, and dignity, and improve their overall health. At the heart of our mission is our commitment to advocating for the systemic changes necessary in public attitudes, policies and laws to ensure that AIDS and public health policies at all levels of government are both sound in concept and equitable in administration.” www.housingworksauctions.com
RANTS & RAVES:
We stopped by the 126 Crosby Street, (b/t Broadway-Lafayette) location, to feed our caffeine craving as well as to buy some books. I got the Ice Coffee ($2.50) with some soy milk and sugar, once had my fill with some ice cold caffeine, I had a chance to check out their selection of books. A very lovely way to send a Sunday morning, as I was getting ready to leave I noticed a small basket with the word “free” on it. What can I say I have cheap-dar, in that basket were free condoms, so if you’re feeling lucky and happen to be around the hood, check out Housing Works on 126 Crosby Street. Please don’t skimp on the donation box or if you’re not in a giving mood buy a book you brain will thank you.
