Coats for the City

The fall season is coming to an end.  Time flies!  I have enjoyed ever single minute since I moved to New York City.  I have learned so much working at the MNYBA.  I am so humbled to have finished my first semester in the city.

This past week we had nearly 90 volunteers at the MNYBA and thousands of coats arrived from North Carolina for Coats for the City.  In three years, Coats for the City has grown from only one to 15 locations across the New York metro area.  Locations included Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn. We were able to give about 5,000 coats to the needy as well as christian material in their own language.  Volunteers gave away the coats during a beautiful snowy day!

As my first semester in New York City comes to an end, I get ready to go back home in Texas for the holidays.  I am very excited to what's to come in 2014.  It will be a very busy year at the MNYBA as we get ready for Passport New York as well as our summer internship program.  It will be an exciting year and I'm eager to see what God will do in NYC next year!
