Council Member Andy King, Bronx Restaurateur Share Acts of Kindness Following Season’s First Snow Storm
Bronx — Following an evening of snowy weather, the first for the season, many people were caught off guard, particularly children coming home from school without proper winter gear. Friday morning, NYC Council Member Andy King and Bronx restaurant owner Paul Brown kicked off the season of “Sharing is Caring” by providing a hot lunch and distributing brand-new winter coats to more than 50 children from the neighborhood. Many of the coat recipients resided at Eastchester Garden’s NYCHA development, which is experiencing major heat insufficiencies.
“It’s so touching to see all the little children who perhaps would not have an opportunity to get a brand new coat now have this opportunity. They picked out their own coat and wore it home,” said Council Member King.
The coats were donated by the Macy’s and JCPenneys stores at the Mall at Bay Plaza in Co-op City, Bronx. Council Member Andy King says he plans to do another coat distribution in weeks to come.
