“The Little Shop of Kindness” is located in a cozy storefront facing Bryant Park, where the city’s newest residents can procure free clothing, toys and books.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.In late February, Team TLC NYC, an organization that until recently greeted thousands of asylum seekers arriving at the Port Authority with clothes, toiletries and basic kindness, hit a major hurdle.
Thielmann said the church came to her organization's rescue after she expressed her plight to Pastor Everette Samuel during the winter. “They can actually try on clothes and choose clothes in a respectful environment,” she said, and recounted the story of one visitor, a “tough customer” with scars and tattoos who came with his 2-year-old son. Thielmann said he teared up after asking how much everything cost, and discovering it was all free.
I’m grateful that New Yorkers are welcoming us and I’m grateful that they’re giving us some basic necessities.According to Thielmann, the Little Shop has been doing a brisk business with some of the more than 72,000 migrants who have arrived in the city since last year, many bused here by border-state officials.
