Tony spent his life living and working in NYC, dedicating 30 years to teaching and coaching cross country running. “My work brought me immense pride and a sense of purpose.” It ended abruptly with the pandemic — Tony was laid off. His finances dwindled and he couldn’t afford food. Hunger brought Tony to The Bowery Mission, but he found so much more. See how he’s been able to get back on his feet by God’s grace and thanks to friends like you: https://lnkd.in/eT-XRzHg #Hope #Flourish #Inspiring #TransformingLives #CommunityImpact #BoweryHopeStory #BoweryMission

Celebrating 130 years of Mont Lawn Camp! Honored to visit our original Nyack, NY site last Sunday and join Ramah Day Camp who sought to preserve our camp's history. Together, we celebrated with past staff and campers, and the community. The town supervisor of Clarkstown presented The Bowery Mission & Mont Lawn Camp with a proclamation recognizing our impact and history in the region.

Homelessness can happen very unexpectedly. Anna retired from a career in HR. One day, her roommate didn't pay rent and Anna's life turned upside down — she found herself homeless with no one to turn to. She saw an ad for The Bowery Mission and came for emergency shelter, then joined our Residential Program. Anna shares that the worst part of becoming homeless were the feelings of failure and humiliation. It's important to her that people realize becoming homeless can occur to anyone and at any time, regardless of past success or status. “Homelessness is not dirty, it is not contagious, it is just people who need guidance to find the right resources to reclaim the life they lost.” Together, we can support our neighbors in need in their time of crisis so that they can find a path forward to independence ❤️ #Hope #CommunityImpact #BoweryMission #TransformingLives #Flourish #NYC

Our Mont Lawn City Camp team has been busy with back-to-school (and back-to-City-Camp) time. And our friends at AFLAC Global Investments have partnered with us again, donating over 200 backpacks filled with school supplies! So grateful we could offer these to families in our community — a great help for our NYC kids as they start a new year of learning and growth! #FriendsOfTheMission #BoweryMission #CommunityImpact Aflac

Each person who is struggling with homelessness or hunger has their own story. Just like Kelli. “I basically came to The Bowery Mission to put more space between me and alcohol….the Mission is setting us up for a new life,” she says. Our program offered her the structure she needed to navigate the ups and downs of recovery. The classes, support groups and counseling sessions have given her tools to cope with symptoms of withdrawal, manage challenging emotions, and find work and housing. She also started seeing how God can help handle challenges people can never solve by themselves. “I am learning little by little why to put my faith and trust in Him.” Kelli says that after her crisis stabilizes, her dream is to give back. She would like to work for a nonprofit where she can help other women going through similar struggles. Every day, neighbors like Kelli receive help, care and God’s love in their time of need. Thank you for helping to make this possible ❤️ #Hope #Flourish #CommunityImpact #BoweryMission #Inspiring #TransformingLives

"One year ago, I came here haunted by ghosts from my past. But ever since then I’ve had blessing after blessing. Now I think everything that has happened to me is because God guided me to this place. At the beginning I couldn’t see it, because I had so much anxiety. But with time, I realized just what this place means to me. This place gave me my faith back." Friends like you make stories like Mayra's possible. Thank you for helping neighbors in need to overcome homelessness and other crises ❤️ See Mayra's story of hope: https://lnkd.in/eGkdbPb7 #Hope #Flourish #CommunityImpact #BoweryMission #Inspiring #TransformingLives
