Senator Roxanne J. Persaud Hosts Annual Pre-Mother’s Day Celebration for Families in SD-19

Brooklyn, NY – On Saturday, May 10, State Senator Roxanne J. Persaud proudly hosted her annual Pre-Mother’s Day “Distribution & More” event, bringing together families of new moms, expecting moms, and community matriarchs for a day of celebration and support.

Held in partnership with Kings Plaza Shopping Center, Ashley Stewart, JCPenney, and other generous community organizations, the event offered registered attendees the opportunity to select a complete outfit, shoes, or jewelry—just in time for Mother’s Day. Additional essential items, including adult and baby diapers, were also distributed.

The festive atmosphere was filled with joy, laughter, and connection, as attendees enjoyed refreshments and received snack and gift bags. A highlight of the day included a raffle drawing for three prize baskets, which will be held for the winners.

Senator Persaud extended her heartfelt thanks to the event’s community partners: Kings Plaza Shopping Center, Ashley Stewart, JCPenney, Agape Community Development Corp, Expecting Relief, Millennium Development, Rainbow Shops, and the Jewish Community Council of Canarsie.

“This event is a special way to honor the amazing women who nurture our families and communities every day,” said Senator Persaud. “We’re grateful to our partners for helping us make this celebration meaningful and memorable.”
