Absolut Vodka has announced that it will donate $50,000 to the New York City chapter of Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit group that helps build homes for the less fortunate, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. The donation will be used toward the construction of low-income housing in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The contribution will be presented at an affordable construction site at 514 Lafayette Avenue tomorrow, where filmmaker Spike Lee and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will be on hand for the presentation.
