I admired the gorgeous exterior and interior beauty of this church. What I found to be so great about it was it's welcoming and inclusive platform accepting everyone including the LGBTQ + community. The Catholic church turn people like us away, but Middle Collegiate Church didn't. They fully understood and practiced the true value of unconditional love, acceptance and unity. My heart goes out to it's parishioners, especially during these impossible and difficult times we all are facing. I am sure this church and the apartment building can be rebuilt someday, but it will take a lot of time and resources. The only silver lining is that were no injuries or fatalities. Stay strong and safe!

They have been relocated to site at 347 East 10th St at Avenue B.<br /><br />They lost their belongings in the fire. Can you help with a clothing or gift card donation for our neighbors? Please bring new and gently used women’s clothing to 347 East 10th St at Avenue B. Drop by when you can - they are open 24 hours. <br /><br />These women were already struggling to get back on their feet during a pandemic and now face an even greater setback. Please step up for them if you can.

I believe it was a shelter or a halfway house of some sort. Was it damaged? 3 And Does anyone have any news about what happened to the tenants of the building that burned again today and was destroyed in February, causing them to lose their apartments? I know there were a lot of older tenants in that building and I wonder what became of them, where they’re living, if there is a way to help, even all these months later. I could find no news of the tenants back in February after the fire.
