One of New York City’s oldest homeless services organizations, The Bowery Mission has served homeless, hurting, and hungry New Yorkers since 1879. Today, The Bowery Mission provides a full continuum of care, with the goal of ending and preventing homelessness. These services include: basic needs and emergency care to people experiencing homelessness, long-term recovery programs where adults overcome homelessness, collaborative social services for the unemployed and working poor, and mentoring and enrichment programs for children. Join us in our work to empower people in need by volunteering to help serve meals in our community kitchen.
Without the help of our over 10,000 volunteers each year, The Bowery Mission simply could not meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness and hunger in New York City. It’s people like you who truly make our work possible.
This is a flexible activity that can be completed whenever you have enough free time.
