The New York Landmarks Conservancy has
awarded $25,000 to the Church of the Resurrection
in Kew Gardens to help fund copper roof restoration
at the tower.
The Church of the Resurrection, located at 85-09
118th St., is a historic Episcopal church that welcomes
various programs that can reach about 1,000
people a year. The church also includes a food pantry
and lunch program, 12-step meetings, annual rummage
sales and a group home for developmentally
disabled adults.
One of the early parishioners at Church of the
Resurrection was Jacob Riis, the noted reformer and
photographer who campaigned on New York’s working
class. The Church of the Resurrection has been
an active participant in the New York Landmarks
Conservancy’s annual Sacred Sites Open House.
Along with the Church of the Resurrection, the
conservancy will also award 18 Sacred Sites grants,
a total of $310,500, to historic religious properties
throughout New York state.
“Our Sacred Sites grantees maintain beautiful
and important buildings, but also serve beyond their
congregations,” said Peg Breen, president of The
New York Landmarks Conservancy. “Throughout
these difficult months, they have continued providing
food, health and recovery programs to their communities.
Our grants will help them continue all
their vital work.”
