The Bowery Mission also welcomes guests to visit our pantries, where you can receive canned goods and pantry staples; items vary by availability. At the Bowery campus: every weekday (Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 11:00am). At the Tribeca campus: every 3rd Saturday of the month (10:00am - 11:00am).

Shelter

At Tribeca campus in Manhattan

For most of our guests, the lack of a clean, safe place to sleep only exacerbates the cycle of unemployment, poverty or addiction. Our shelter program is a compassionate intervention to that cycle. Including showers, hygiene items, clean clothes, linens, and brand-new donated mattresses, the shelter program provides services in a dignified setting.

Guests are also able to connect with resources to take next steps out of crisis and poverty. We also serve guests who do not necessarily need the structure of our long-term residential program, such as those who may already be working or those who do not struggle with addiction.

Safe overnight shelter is offered daily at our Tribeca location. Intake is Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 11:00am for all new guests. Intake also occurs on the weekends: for women from 3:00pm - 3:45pm and for men from 4:00pm - 5:00pm. Walk in or call (212) 226-6214 for more information.
