To Our Valued Community, We mourn the victims of the tragic shootings in Georgia this week, which specifically targeted people of Asian descent.

To our Community: As The Bowery Mission cares for our most vulnerable neighbors during the coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency, we remain committed to the health, safety and well-being of all.

At a time when traditional fundraising galas and […]
