One of the chief problems of homelessness is not just the lack of physical resources like food and shelter, but the loss of family relationships that everyone needs \u2014 losses that are felt most keenly on holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we\u2019re isolated from the people God designed us to be closest to \u2014 like spouses or parents \u2014 the scars from that brokenness can make trusting anyone difficult. Individuals who\u2019ve reached the end of their rope, who turn to The Bowery Mission as a refuge of last resort, often struggle with trust as a result. They feel completely alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we work so hard to welcome them and to meet their needs with love and compassion. While we can\u2019t replace their family, we can be a place of warmth where they truly belong. Each one of them matters, because each one is made in the image of God. Our guests are worthy of dignity, and when they turn to us for help on Thanksgiving or any other day, they\u2019re leaving behind the loneliness and isolation of the streets and entering a community of love and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m grateful that friends like you make this possible. May God bless you and yours with a joyful Thanksgiving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With deep appreciation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bowery.org\/filer_public\/cb\/37\/cb37db78-8480-408e-b388-b01fc47969ab\/james_signature2.png\" alt=\"James\" style=\"width:154px;height:54px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>James Winans, CEO<\/p>\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>\u201cRejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God\u2019s will for you in Christ Jesus.\u201d \u2014 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowery.org\/updates\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/24Thx_Header_v1_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Thanksgiving celebration at The Bowery Mission\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be a part of Thanksgiving history at The Bowery Mission!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporting The Bowery Mission at Thanksgiving keeps alive a New York tradition that\u2019s almost 150 years old!
