Church Used as Sandy Relief Hub Targeted by Arson

HeadlineDec 26, 2012

A New York church used as a relief hub for the group Occupy Sandy has been targeted with an apparent act of arson. The Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew in Brooklyn suffered major damage after an alleged arsonist poured gasoline around the front entrance and set it on fire. The church had been serving as Occupy Sandy’s headquarters and as a storage space for supplies and donations in the post-Sandy relief effort, including thousands of toys for children in devastated areas.
