Popular Astoria Instagram account @astoryofastoria, is hosting their 2nd annual holiday fundraiser on Wednesday, December 14th, at Studio Square.
This year, once again, the gang have teamed up with Urban Upbound, an Astoria-based organization which is focused on providing residents of public housing neighborhoods the tools and the resources needed in order to achieve economic mobility and self-sufficiency.
An effort that tries to break the cycles of poverty which are seen in such neighborhoods.
