The Gramercy Park Block Association/NYPD World Trade Center Relief Effort On September 11th, 2001, our world and our lives were changed forever. The Gramercy Park Block Association was privileged to help in the days and months following September 11th. Our relief effort at the 13th Precinct command center included preparing and serving thousands of meals, providing shelter and distributing critical supplies to our police, fire and emergency units, and to hundreds of visiting police, fire and rescue units who poured into New York from around the country to assist and support workers at Ground Zero. The bonds we formed then became permanent, and our support for first reponders continues to this day.
