EVG reader Bill Buchen spotted these today along the East River Promenade (in the high teens)... there are Ziplock bags filled with scarves made by students at the United Nations International School... a note on the bags say that the scarves are free for "people in need" ...
Per Bill: "A wonderful seasonal thought ..."
merry christmas to this kind soul and to all in need of these wonderful gifts!
ReplyDeleteHow kind and thoughtful of the students. I hope the mufflers are used by the needy, many of whom are children living in shelters.
ReplyDeleteThere was a Christmas morning coat giveaway organized by New York Cares at the New York City Rescue Mission,90 Lafayette Street, between Walker and White Streets.
New York Cares will collect warm winter coats for the needy through December 31. Donate coats, mufflers and gloves for adults and children at any police precinct, Penn Station and Grand Central Station.
I concur with Bill.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! I will donate to the local police precinct on fifth!
ReplyDeleteAwesome that the students did all that knitting for people in need. LOVE THIS CITY.
Now THAT is the seasonal spirit shown in a very beautiful way. Blessings on all who made these & who made this possible!
ReplyDeletePlease don't donate to the precinct on fifth. If you want to donate please donate at the NYC Rescue Mission at 90 Lafayette or to the Bowery Mission. Also- donations to the missions usually dry up after the holidays. Folks are in need every day of the year - not just Thanksgiving or Christmas. They can really use donations and volunteers in January and February.
