Five nonprofits in Brooklyn are being recognized for their work providing essential services at a time when federal funding may be in question.

The organization Brooklyn Org is awarding each of them $100,000 to help continue their work.

Brooklyn Org will honor them on Tuesday. The organization provides funding to various nonprofits in Brooklyn.

One of the nonprofits being recognized is the Brownsville Community Culinary Center, which offers free culinary vocational training to Brownsville residents.

The center also runs a Food Is Medicine program, which supports people with diabetes through nutrition education, cooking classes and fitness activities.

Jocelynne Rainey, CEO of Brooklyn Org, and Alexis Aquino, executive director of the Brownsville Community Culinary Center, joined "Weekends On 1" Sunday morning to discuss more.
