Touch A Truck, and Support P.S. 770, in East Flatbush on Oct. 15

The East Flatbush Touch A Truck fundraiser also features food, activities, and tours of the school.

BROWNSVILLE, BROOKLYN — Fire trucks. Dump trucks. Recycling trucks. Tow trucks. An ice cream truck. A vintage MTA bus. And that's not the whole list.

You, your child, and your inner child can explore all of these trucks and more this Saturday at a fundraiser for P.S. 770, The New American Academy.

East Flatbush Touch A Truck is taking place on Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the school, located at 60 E. 94th St.
