It was billed as a Nets community event, with Brett Yormark serving Thanksgiving meals Saturday afternoon in East New York, one of Brooklyn's poorest neighborhoods. But this one had a difference. Yormark personally paid for the meals and dished them out with his children, aged 10 and 7, along with Barry Baum of the Nets press office and his son.
Yormark told the 100 people who came to the East New York Clubhouse, "The Nets are coming to the Barclays Center down Atlantic (Avenue) and we will continue to give back to the community." The clubhouse is part of Brooklyn Community Services. It provides a non-institutional setting for psychiatric rehabilitation in a community where half of the population lives below the poverty line.

Another PR stunt
This is nothing but a PR stunt that they are doing. In reality, they couldn’t care less about them. I could show a picture of other infamous people doing something good, and I am sure others will think that they are not bad guys. Speaking of East NY, Charles Barron, who represents them, did offer to have the project there especially with the Broadway Junction hub and LIRR station nearby with lots of undeveloped lands to build on without the need of eminent doamin, but Ratner refused it greatley, because it wasn’t where he wanted it.
what have you done for the poor this holiday season, Tal?
with or without publicity?
Has DDDB ever done anything similar?

Where you can find out
Just go over to their website, though the No Land Grab website states a lot more.
