The Bowery Mission is a results-oriented organization that is recognized as one of New York City's most effective. The organization says each meal and every service is an invitation to residential and community programs that help clients make progress towards individual goals such as regaining sobriety, reconnecting with family and faith, and preparing for work and independent living.
They also offer year-round opportunities for the youth.
