Community Game Night

Community Game Night

Community doesn’t build itself — it’s built when we show up for one another.

Join Labor of Love for an all-ages Community Game Night, where food, laughter, and connection come together in a space intentionally created for neighbors to gather, unwind, and build real relationships.

This night is about more than games. It’s about creating accessible, joy-filled spaces where people feel welcomed, fed, and seen — without barriers.

What to Expect:

  • Board games and group games for kids, teens, and adults

  • A shared meal prepared with care

  • A relaxed, welcoming environment rooted in collective joy

  • Time and space to connect with neighbors and build community

Why Your Support Matters:

Labor of Love is able to host events like this because of community support. We do not receive consistent funding, and every gathering requires food, supplies, and labor to make it possible.
This is a Pay What You Can event — not because it’s easy, but because we believe everyone deserves access to food and community.

Your donation directly sustains this work.

If you are able, we strongly encourage you to give generously so we can:

  • Keep events free or low-cost for families

  • Provide quality food and materials

  • Continue creating consistent community spaces

No one will be turned away for lack of funds — but this work cannot continue without collective support.

Event Details:

📅 Friday, February 28

🕒 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM

📍 Ujima Cooperative Learning Lab

198 Rogers Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11225

Community Game Night -  After PArty
Feb

Community Game Night - After PArty

When the kids head home, the grown folks get their turn.

Join Labor of Love for the Community Game Night After Party — an adults-only continuation of our earlier family game night, created for deeper connection, grown conversation, and classic games we all love.

This is still about community — just with spades on the table, dominoes clicking, drinks flowing, and the music a little louder.

What to Expect:

  • Classic games like Spades, Dominoes, Uno No Mercy, Culture Tags, Heads Up, 5 Second Rule, and more

  • A relaxed, grown atmosphere rooted in joy and togetherness

  • Drinks available for purchase to support Labor of Love

  • Space to unwind, laugh, and build real community with your neighbors

Important Notes:

  • This event begins after all children have exited the space

  • Must be 21+ to attend

  • IDs will be checked at the door

Why Donations & Drink Sales Matter:

Labor of Love does not operate with guaranteed funding. Events like this are made possible only through community support.

This is a Pay What You Can event with a $10 minimum donation suggested, and drinks will be sold to help cover.

  • Food and beverage costs

  • Space usage and supplies

  • The ability to continue offering free and low-cost community programming

If you’re able to give more — please do.

If you can’t — you are still welcome here.

Showing up is support.

Donating is sustainability.
