About
The Bowery Mission has served homeless and hungry New Yorkers since the 1870s, when its neighborhood came to define the term ‘skid row'. Our children's programs, called Mont Lawn City Camp & Mont Lawn Summer Camp, serve youth and began in 1894 by giving the children of recent immigrants the chance to escape the tenements in the summer.
Volunteer Opportunities
Join us in our work to empower others!'Without friends like you, The Bowery Mission simply could not meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness and hunger in the New York metro area. Serve a meal, tutor and mentor clients, offer a special or professional skill. You can make an impact in someone's life today.
