Big thanks to our team of staff and volunteers who helped refresh our Pennsylvania camp grounds! In just a few weeks, we'll kick off the 132nd year of our Mont Lawn Summer Camp.

Join us in praying for the hundreds of city children and youth we'll serve. Many will experience something brand new, and all will make memories that last a lifetime. ⛺️🌲🏊🚣 Adventure, refreshment, growth and God's love.

"At The Bowery Mission, we believe every person deserves to be met with compassion, dignity, and hope, especially in their hardest moments."

Our Chief Program Officer, Cheryl Mitchell, encouraged us with this reminder last week at our Inspiring Hope Spring Benefit Lunch.

We're thankful for the thousands of friends and supporters each year who help us care for our neighbors facing homelessness and other crises. Together, we can extend God's love and give hope for new life.

This week, we gathered at the iconic Rainbow Room for our Inspiring Hope Spring Benefit Lunch.

Together, we explored the importance of mental health, healing and hope for women facing homelessness. We also reflected on the life-changing impact of compassionate, trauma-informed care and community support.

Elie, a graduate of our Residential Programs, courageously shared her story of healing and transformation. By God's grace, she is now living with renewed hope, stability and independence.

Thanks to the generosity of so many friends and supporters, we raised more than $150,000 to support our programs for women! 👏❤️

38 amazing women from our Mont Lawn City Camp children's program joined us for a joyful Mother's Day brunch! 💐❤️

For 26 months, scaffolding stood in front of our flagship campus. Just behind it, life-changing work continued every day.

Now it's down, revealing a familiar facade that has welcomed so many over 150+ years. We're grateful for this moment, for all that God has done here, and for all He will continue to do in the seasons ahead.

We're (still) open ❤️ All are welcome.

It's been such a fun time celebrating our volunteers and the amazing work they do. As we close out April, we want to say THANK YOU again!

Here are a few photos from our 5th annual Volunteer Social to honor these faithful friends. We also shared appreciation gifts during the month, including recipe cards from five of our chefs. As our Chef Ezequiel reminds us on his card, "Cook with wisdom, serve with heart, and every plate tells a story." ❤️

Thanks to over 11,000 volunteers each year, The Bowery Mission can welcome in our neighbors facing homelessness and other crises. We're so grateful for your time and dedication — it truly makes a life-changing impact!

Meet Kathryn, one of our Front Desk volunteers! She supports our Bowery Campus with compassion toward everyone that walks in our Red Doors. From giving a warm welcome, to accepting donations, to assisting fellow volunteers during check-in, her presence is such a help.

“I receive so much joy being in service at The Bowery Mission. I am full of love, grace and happiness when I finish my shift and always look forward to returning.”

Thank you, Kathryn, for your faithfulness in caring for our neighbors in need ❤️

We were so grateful to welcome back a very special friend, Ms. Pauline! ❤️

Since 2011, she has faithfully served our community with compassion, generosity and love. During her recent visit to NYC with her daughter, we had the joy of honoring her with our first-ever Outstanding Service Award, named in her honor.

Ms. Pauline, your legacy continues to inspire us. Thank you for all you’ve poured into The Bowery Mission family.

This week we're highlighting Amy, a long-time volunteer at our Women's Center. Each month, she facilitates activities for clients in our Residential Programs, like field trips to museums and exhibits near our Harlem Campus.

“It’s been an honor to meet so many amazing, strong and inspirational women; both those in the program and the staff who support them.”

Thank you, Amy, for bringing your joy and kindness for over 20 years now! Because of your compassion, we're able to come alongside our New York neighbors on their journey to independence.
