No one does this better than volunteer Alisha Madkins, whose personal warmth and infectious smile have captured the hearts of so many in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Friday morning, Alisha volunteers as a receptionist at the front desk of The Bowery Mission\u2019s overnight shelter in Tribeca. She uses her kind and professional demeanor to provide a hospitable welcome to all who enter our doors and who call on the phone, equipping people in crisis with the resources and support they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a background in communications, Alisha has worked in marketing for some of the top beverage companies in the world. After spending three years away from New York City, during which she experienced a series of crises in her own life, Alisha returned to the city with a new vision for serving others. \u201cWhen I got back, I saw so many people on the street and thought, \u2018I can\u2019t just keep walking past,\u2019\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volunteering with heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vast majority of people who call the front desk at The Bowery Mission\u2019s overnight shelter are under severe stress. In addition to experiencing homelessness, hunger or other crises, they may not have access to the internet or a smartphone to assist their search for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alisha is particularly passionate about helping people who are in immediate distress. Whenever she answers the phone, her first priority is to provide people with a listening ear. \u201cMy job is to help people know, \u2018We see you, we hear you and we care. Let\u2019s get you what you need.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AM_Volunteer_guest_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Guest being welcomed at The Bowery Mission\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AM_Volunteer_client_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Volunteer with guest\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>If you or someone you know is in crisis, The Bowery Mission can help.

Her goal, she says, is to be a calm and steady presence for anyone experiencing the chaos of homelessness or other challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlisha always makes sure to look people in the eye and give them her full attention,\u201d says Claudia Humphrey, clinical Ambassador at The Bowery Mission. \u201cEven over the phone, her tone of voice always conveys genuine concern for the welfare of whoever is on the other end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Empathy born from experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alisha\u2019s drive to help others stems, in significant part, from having formerly experienced domestic violence and homelessness in her own life. As a survivor, she knows first-hand what it\u2019s like to feel scared and desperate. She knows how frustrating it can be to call for help, only to be repeatedly transferred, hung up on or turned away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AM_Volunteer_tribeca_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Alisha, volunteer at The Bowery Mission\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large is-style-plain has-normal-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>\u201cMy own experiences taught me humility and to never judge.

The staff teach you so much and you get to be a part of a rich community.\u201d We are so grateful for Alisha and consider her a beloved member of The Bowery Mission family. \u201cIt\u2019s not hard to smile and laugh when you\u2019re around Alisha \u2014 she is the epitome of positivity!\u201d says Ray Tieu, Volunteer Coordinator. \u201cShe goes above and beyond to make sure everybody feels at home and comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eaeaea\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Volunteer today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our incredible volunteers use their talents and passions to serve our community at The Bowery Mission.
