Here at The Bowery Mission, we encounter so many people at their lowest point, when they’ve been disrespected, ridiculed, beaten down, taken advantage of and deprived of their most basic rights. But because of Christ’s death and resurrection, we know darkness and despair are never the end of the story — there is always the […]
Flourishing. The word stands in striking contrast to the harsh realities we see on our city streets. As New Yorkers, we regularly see people begging for help. We see people with mental or physical illness go untreated. We see people sleeping in inhumane environments. Perhaps now, more than ever, we live in a world that […]
We New Yorkers love our coffee. It keeps us going when the city wears us down. Especially when the days get darker and colder, it can give us the stamina to keep going. At The Bowery Mission, we believe a simple act of kindness can go a long way. That’s why we make sure to […]
After the past few challenging years, we’re so excited to see more of our supporters, volunteers and partners engaging with us, especially in person at meal services, classes and more. The pandemic continues to have long-term effects for neighbors facing homelessness and poverty and, as some supports have gone away, The Bowery Mission continues to […]
For New Yorkers who really need new clothes, but can’t afford to buy them, it can be hard to find the perfect outfit. Maybe you find something that fits, but it doesn’t really keep you warm and dry. Or maybe you find something that keeps you warm, but you’re embarrassed by how it looks. Julie […]
Bringing the hope and joy of Christmas to New Yorkers in need The holiday season can be a difficult time of year for people who come to our Red Doors. For neighbors who don’t have a place to call home, are separated from family or are going through trauma, the holidays are often reminders of […]
The busiest time of the year Thanksgiving is such a critical time for The Bowery Mission. In a city where New Yorkers experiencing homelessness can often feel invisible or even threatened, we offer a safe and welcoming “home” — a “family table” to be seen and heard. At our annual celebration, we were excited to […]
Gearing up for our busiest time of the year Thanksgiving has always been at the heart of The Bowery Mission. It’s the pinnacle of the year where we create a sense of home and hospitality for anyone who might otherwise spend the holiday alone. The people we serve are not just facing homelessness or […]
Providing help and hope during the dangerous summer months While many of us have been able to enjoy the summer in the city, our neighbors living on the streets have been trying their best to survive the heat. Facing heat stroke, sunburn and dehydration, it’s not only difficult, but dangerous — even deadly. And with […]
At The Bowery Mission, we often say “it all begins with a meal.” Time and time again, we have seen people who first came to us for a meal go on to become part of our community and achieve full recovery and independence. However, what we don’t always talk about is that our volunteers often […]
There is always an opportunity for second chances and for life to be restored. Perhaps now, more than ever, we live in a world that questions if real life change is possible. But at The Bowery Mission, we know that new life, healing and reconciliation are possible in our lives and our world — even […]
Thank you for offering the hope of Christmas to our neighbors in need. During the special holiday season, gathering and celebrating with our friends and family is something we look forward to. But for many people experiencing homelessness across our city, gathering with loved ones will not be a reality this holiday season. So, in […]
