End of an era for Lower East Side Center closing after 1983 gift tradition
The Lower East Side Community Center will close its doors tomorrow after years of aiding neighbors with a Christmas shoe gift program funded by remaining funds. The thrift store, run by Beverly Price for 15 years, supported fire victims and disaster survivors beyond the storefront. Declining donations and rising costs forced the decision, the church basement home promising support but insufficient to cover taxes and phone bills. The center began with the Lower East Side Concerned Citizens in 1977, growing from bazaars and rummage sales to a charity source for those in need.
