God bless everyone there including Julie my true friend miss her so much.An angel in my life. Including Jason and David.Much thanks to all of them.

An amazing staff organized and caring in a part a part of the City that need the blessings given

The B Miss is a GREAT place when you need a FREE meal, FREE clothes, and last but not least if you need a PORT A POTTY in NYC!!

Great place to undergo a real change of life!

Greater love has no other place then here! The staff, the volunteers truly show miracles for some of us who are less fortunate. Thank you.

Arduous dangerous frustrating depressing survival of the fittest indeed

A very good charity works

They serve food for the home less and u can get to take a shower if you need one am offer a lot help for the home 6

Its a faith base organization that loves helping folks get back on their feet. Whether your in need of social services, a place to eat or even sleep, theyre excellent at helping and directing you. You are not alone.

I volunteered before the pandemic and they provided free clothing showers and free breakfast lunch and dinner comprised of really great donations from local restaurants and bakeries. They had church services and also provided shelter but the residents had to be drug free and complete a program otherwise they provided referrals. Since Covid they are only serving breakfast and lunch outside to grab and go. Only the missions residents get three meals daily in their dining area and they are not providing church service to the public anymore.

Md and my family have now and then fallen on hard times and the Bowery has always been there to keep us alive. God bless places like this and those who support them. Its truly a God sent for the homeless and the hungry.

Fantastic staff. Great food. Wonderful preaching and singing. Caring. Kind. Helpful. I attended a celebration of a new book about the Bowery Mission written by pastor Jason Storbakken. I had a wonderful time. This mission is so historic and has helped countless people over the years

Good people

The work the staff does at the Tribeca shelter is astounding! Cliff, Gary and other staff members provide services to those less fortunate every day with a smile on their faces. We volunteers go there once in a while but they do the hard but valuable work every single day!

I had an asian evangelist pray for me.THIS CHURCH LET ME TAKE SHOWERS AND GAVE ME CLOTHES TO PUT ON MY BACK. This place had given me the inspiration to give back when I can. Sorry if Itaken too much time talking about myself.This place feed you breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days a week. Cant say nothingbad about The Bowery Mission.

Amazing help for the homeless. Donate to this mission that many other homeless people may get help.

They serve meals to the homeless,plus if u need a shower or clothes they will provide those services. U can also volunteer some time if u like. Great institution great church! Thanks to the staff they r courteous nd respectful to all.

At 1pm everyday you can eat a very large lunch. The servers of the food are respectful and anyone can go here and walk out with a full belly. They serve breakfast & dinner, too. Ive always eaten here when I am broke. Im very grateful to the Bowery Mission.

I have a cousin that stays there he said its very clean

Feeding the homeless and giving clothes as while as shoes to the homeless people in need.

I love the Bowery Mission. It is one of my favorite places to volunteer at in New York. They do phenomenal work and always put their clients first. A gem in New York City.

Update: Today August 10th my dad a senior was denied food again. It was his first of the day. The white male work with glasses refuse to give him food. It sickens me that he treat seniors like this.The lady that hands out food keeps on claiming my dad got the food when he didnt. My dad is a senior. The lady should be fired. 2nd time this has happen.

This is where I go fishing..grateful for the work done here. Lets not forget 3 meals a day...everyday. Spiritual as well as nutrional.

Dont let the other reviews fool you. They know how to put on a show. Favoritism is key here, I can mention more than a few names of people whove generously helped themselves to donations but Im not going to. This place does not provide any resources to get out of your situation but rather than help, its a do it on your own and if nothing works out theyll still kick you out (you cant enter the program for 3 months after youve been kicked out). Ive watched honest working men get kicked out over addicts that continued to violate the rules. The pastor in the chapel is spiteful and will do anything in his power to get back at anyone whos done something or said anything he doesnt like. The men who are at the front desk are usually part of the program so it depends on who was already rude before you get there or if youre lucky to get an actual competent human being. The food from what I remember was fine until they hired someone who obviously doesnt care about her job or what she serves to the less unfortunate, Ive watched her suck her teeth and give a hard time to anyone who has specific dietary requirements being religious or due to diet. If you didnt want the job you shouldnt have taken it. Same to say to a majority or the so called Godly people here.I hope this place gets exposed for the joke it is.

Except for having to go to service before eating, they serve decent food here. It was founded in 1879. They are the very first homeless shelter and service in NYC. Many other services are offered here but again only if you convert to Christianity. 🙄

I mean it is a Spiritual place that reaches out only for men of all ages. They do provide 3 meals a day. Very healthy great food for which I visit often for. The main reach are out to homeless and less fortunate people. Take sanitizer. But keep a lite heart it is the heavenly fathers house

The Bower mission is ok but there is alot of things that could change first of all they should have some sort of Bible study during this carona virus out break there is no bases of helping people who want to have more freedom in feeling a since of peace and welcoming In this place . I have stayed here for about a month now and Im a musician who plays the guitar I have been told not to play my guitar or sing on the floor that I stay on which is a exsallent way to spread the love of Christ to thso who are suffering during this time . when we are suffering and going through hard times Such as now we should have more time to reflect on our day and find peace in Jesus just having place to sleep is ok but here needs to be more structure in this place . the staff is rude here and are very demanding and are actin as if this is aprison and allowing guest to fight and argue I dont recomand this place to Christians who are trying to make a positive change in this world so if you need a place to stay find another drop in shelter .

Excellent place for multiple reasons.It’s a blessed place & a place of blessing to the needy,helpless & homeless.Long live Bowery Mission.

What they are doing in the Bowery mission is awesome. Please seek it out and get in involved. Financially or hands on . Thank you and God bless you

Staying at the bowery i can say that this is the place to get back on your feet if youre willing to do your part personally. Amazing services for people struggling and have lost hope.

Life is gud at the mission.only in New York can u get a decent meal and toiletries all at the same place and hear the word of god also.like I said only in new york.

Oh my goodness, what an amazing experience for me. I love to volunteer but this particular organization has just become dear to my heart. This was my first time volunteering with the Bowery Mission.It happened to be the same day that songstress Alicia Keys would also volunteer as well by serving food to the less fortunate and homeless population. Her presence truly put smiles on the faces of many people which touched my heart.I learned by speaking with a regular worker, that help is needed year round at the Bowery Mission, they provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday to hundreds of people. A fellow volunteer spoke about how he used to be homeless and care there often for meals. He said that it is easy for a person to end up in that predicament and said something that I always say, “Life happens”. He also mentioned that he is grateful for places like the Bowery who provides endless meals.I will be making plans to incorporate this organization into my lifestyle by committing to volunteer more than once a day because help is needed everyday in every way. I invite you to jump onboard too to bless someone else in need.

The Bowery is a must-serve experience. If youre looking for a Christian volunteer opportunity, dont hesitate. We come from Canada to do it once a year!

They dont provide necessary necesitys like clothing and hygiene products to the homeless population like before!

Its a great place, u can eat shower nd get some clothes also. Outstanding job to the staff at Bowery Mission.

Wow...they really try ti give a good meal to those who need it. Under 37 degrees, before 5pm they will let you stay warm, and they give out good clothing to men on certain days.

I am just watching Michael,on the Chew,show...Just knowing about it.Watery eyes,compassionate heart,hearing individual sharing the benefits!Goodness will always out do evil.Wonderful vision.

The Bowery has a noble mission and provides an essential service to the people they serve. Additionally their hospitality for volunteers is second to none

When I was homeless, I was living at a shelter that was a few blocks from here. The food at my shelter was vile, so I ate plenty of meals here.The food was hit or miss mainly, but it was always something edible. Sometimes the portions were small, but they feed ALOT of people here. All food is donated and prepared onsite. And never once did I get sick eating the food here, unlike the shelter that I was living at.Some of the clientele were street homeless, so sometimes you had to deal with all those issues.They also distribute clothing a couple of days per week. Its a LONG wait, but it is worth it if you need clothing. I got a few REALLY nice outfits here - all well known name brands. If you tell them that you are looking for work, they will do their best to put an outfit together that you could wear to interviews.For the street homeless, they also provide showers for them once or twice a week. They also have doctors that volunteer their time once a week that provide free care - Medicaid not required.They also provide rehab programs and shelter services. Im not too familiar with them - Its not a facility that NYC sends people to. Its a Christian organization.NOTE: They ask that you attend the one hour chapel service before each meal, but they dont require you to. However if you dont attend, it will take longer for you to be fed - they send people to the cafeteria row by row.The chapel services are always different, and some are very enjoyable. Sometimes Amish or Mennonite groups will come in from out of state and will sing Christian songs as well as preach.I had strayed from the Lord for years, and the chapel services really helped me to reconnect. For that alone I will always be grateful.

People are fed, given clothing, treated with dignity and given another chance to thrive at the Bowery. Volunteer, donate, visit. Its an amazing place

Volunteered here, was a great eye opening experience left feeling like I should cherish my life and the things I have more.

As a pastor I am always glad to see there work firsthand...

The Bowery Mission is a rescue mission that assist the community with hot food, emergency shelter, medical assistance, clothing, drug abuse, transform life to hope, joy, lasting productivity, and spiritual wholeness.Assist with residential recovery programs and provides thousands at risk children and youth with summer camp experiences and year-round mentoring and enrichment opportunities.May the Lord blesses this amazing people that have a good heart to help others since 1879.Great place to volunteer and to help people in need, to give a hopeful hand.Feed the hunger, help the hopeless, house the homeless.If you are into charity, please donate to this non-for-profit organization, thousands of people will really appreciate it.

I have personally lived here and turned my life around. I was an addict and a criminal. After staying here I learned how to make friends, share, help others, work hard, and be a drug free contribution and contributing member in my community. I still attend to this day when I fall short to make ends meet in my life. I truly love all the staff, volunteers, and clients that make up this 2nd home of mine.

Bringing in donations from breads bakery.

One of the most blessed places in New York city, and especially in the lower east side. All are welcomed, and feed 7 days a week. 1pm-2pm Lunch and 6pm-7pm dinner for those in need of a free, blessed hot meal

I am a mother of three that went in yesterday to eat. I have no addiction problems nor do I drink. Just a little down on my luck. Me my husband and my family went into eat and felt so welcome. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

Ive been living down the block for a while now and yesterday was the first time Ive been there. The food was good and the fellowship is great. Will return soon.

They feed ppl here and theres an hour mass while you wait .good food

I found myself homeless three years ago, from sober housing, to the shelter and drug programs, eating regularly was not possible. The Mission helped make sure that me and others in the same need were taken care of. Three meals a day, a food pantry and the experiences others in this position I found myself in. Im in my own apartment, am going back to school and have been sober for 3 years and 21 days.

The meals a Good but u nerd Ur own salta An pepper

Just as Deirdre mentioned, this address is for The Bowery Mission. This is not for the Bowery Hotel which the pictures and reviews suggest. Please do not confuse the Bowery Mission for the Bowery Ballroom either.The Bowery Mission is a homeless shelter and rehabilitation program. They get many donations from Whole Foods and other organizations. The Bowery Mission is religiously affiliated but the people are not required to convert. Everyone who stays at the Mission is expected to work, learn, and earn their keep. They will leave the program with $3000 in savings.

The story of James is touching!! We go every year to sing and they are always kind!

Can be better at service people because they dont know when it could be there turn 2 be needing help

It is an start

Wonderful place people helping feed the hungry and clothing shelter social networking for the homeless men.

They help you in everything you need 💓

Good Place Employees Good if you have Problem they will help youBut if you dont like to be sleeping with different kind of People and religion you can be in this Place.

Just place to grab a breakfast, lunch,and dinner and great staff and volunteer.

Really a place where those who come in find food, solace and shelter. Not only that, they get fed spiritually also. The total man is fed spirit soul and body.

The Bowery was excellent for the food pantry for me. And they feed the community to.

Had lunch here. Better than expected. Friendly people.Lunch is every day at 1pm.

It is so seamless to donate here.

Friendly people.ok food pretty much a good environment

I go to pray and to get away sometimes. Im always alone.😕..if Ud like to spend a few hours just walking an talking..hit me up. Im pretty good company.👨👍

This is a good place to volunteer your time, and help serving meals for those in need within the community.

God has Blessed this building and the people in it went the to speak once and loved ever second of it !

Why do so many people complain about a Christ Centered Ministry share their faith as they provide hot meals ??? It’s their purpose and mission from God !!! Your not forced to eat a hot meal get a shower, clothes, medical needs met !!! Some are so ungrateful !!! Bowery God bless you for all you do in The name of Jesus Christ !!! Also y’all talking about affordable housing for many that can’t buy a hot meal !!! Remember they are homeless for a reason !!! Help them deal with the reasons !!!

My son Neo is supposed to be there. However, these people have taken all of his outlets to reach out to his family. I am his Mother and all I want to do is hear from him. Please call me Son.. I Love You!!

Gods servants good food at no cost

Safe fast effieniet

I always thought that a shelter is temporary housing where the homeless can get to sleep and be served some meals. Why do all these shelters try to push a Bible study or their beliefs on you? Why do you need a case manager if you just need a temporary place to lay your head and get back on your feet? Why so many rules to follow and so many early curfews like high school kids? Why dont they have separate shelters for street people and mentally ill people? Not everyone who is homeless is mentally ill or came from the street. Some people lost their homes or are unemployed and looking to get back on their feet. The whole shelter system sucks and they need to shut them down and provide permanent and affordable housing for the homeless. Those who are crazy should be housed in a mental facility. The bums from the street should have a special place where they can go to shower and clean up themselves.The only solution for homelessness is to get to the root of the problem. Get rid of all these case managers because they are not helping anyone. They only collect a paycheck and try to hold down people so they can be employed. I have never seens so much BS in my entire life. Thank God I got a job very quickly, got my own place, and I am back on my feet again.I have a few reccomendations below to solve homelessness:HOMELESS PEOPLE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING, NOT SHELTERS. PERIOD. THE CRAZIES NEED A MENTAL FACILITY WHERE THEY CAN TAKE THEIR MEDS AND REST. THEY SHOULD NOT BE MIXED IN WITH NORMAL PEOPLE. THE EX CONVICTS, DRUGGIES, AND THE LIKES NEED THEIR OWN FACILITY TO RECOVER. THEY SHOULD NOT BE MIXED IN WITH NORMAL PEOPLE. ALL NORMAL PEOPLE LOOKING FOR JOBS SHOULD BE MOVED TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND GET THE HELP THEY NEED. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Meeting the needs of those who lack of strong family support system.

Its a Wonderful place to go when you come to the end of the road in your Life.

This place puts food in my belly everyday without them I would have to panhandle for my meals, however four stars because half of the other people that depend on this place smell like a portable potty!!!!!!

One of the few places that will forever be part of my life,the greatest people with tremendous hearts,God build the Bowery Mission for one reason and it was to show those people that took the wrong path that theres still hope and opportunities and that you are not alone when you need a helping hand,.. great place love the mission

It really change my life went from being homeless, prison then hereThe bowery has great programs serves three meals a dayand the services are really heart touchingThey help me recover from a dark placeand now i have a job and spend my time working with the bowery missionThey made me the productive young man i am todayAnd for that i say thank youAnd God Bless

Best place to donate to help those around you who really need it.

This place is horrible do not believe the other reviews they are misguided. As a person who have used their services I can tell you exactly what they are like. The staff is rude, money grubbing and cruel.when it was cold the city forced them against their wishes to establish a temporary cold blue shelter. They were unhappy about this and did their best to discourage you from staying. I was told since I have a job and I am actively attempting to fix my current situation I was barred from staying there and using their services. In the staffs own words and I qoute I dont care where you sleep or how cold it is, you aint sleeping here. Is a job worth more than having somewhere to sleep? Come here early tomorrow around 5pm for the service and you can stay, no go away. Its too late for this messI told them I had proof of employment and my work hours. I didnt need a mat, I could sleep in a chair. I just didnt want be outside in the cold and have something bad happen to me or die. not my problem, shouldve thought about that before you came after service.It was only 9pm.They try to act as though they want to help but they dont. They want you to stay in your situation so they can keep getting money. Money they dont even spend on the homeless. There chapel has a lice infestation that they know and dont care about.They receive large amounts of money that they keep for their selves. They only things they hand out are the really junk donations and they do that sparingly. The other day someone brought in a bunch of winter gloves. The man at the desk and the fat security guard took them. I asked for a pair and they told me to go buy it. When I was leaving I overheard them talking about selling the ones they werent keeping for their selves. I am going to call the city and news reporters on them because this organization should not behave like this. They force you to sit for hours (it is not optional) in their chapel before each meal, yes their chapel with the infestation. It is 3am right now and I have to go the bathroom badly, I walked there hoping to use their restroom. The guard just looked at me while i was standing there knocking. It couldve been a fatal emergency, he dont care. Eventually I got someone to come to the door, who immediately had a attitude, shouting LEAVE mind you I am not a trouble maker, I dont talk to anyone, I come to eat and thats it. There is no reason to conduct their self in that manner towards me. I tried to explain I just needed to use the restroom. He wasnt hearing it. He told me to go away very rudely. See the way it works there is this. They only do something if they can make a profit off it, and even then they will do the bare minimum and the staff wont even be the ones doing it. The make their volunteers do the work, they dont even pay them. If they ask about pay the start talking about how thats not Gods way and such. Either they need a new staff or it needs to be shutdown. I know that sounds cruel but its better than being treated like less than a human being just because your homeless. Ive seen them mistreat many people and get away with it. They run a shelter, yep. Your never going to get in it though, its for women only and if your not putting out they are quick to get rid of you. They also have a neat little money making program called the 7 day, basically they house you for seven days and then kick you out. Why? Because its a revolving door. Everytime a bed opens they get more money for the person that fills it. Its funny how they talk about how they have no money and need donations but have expensive cars and very expensive sound equipment and projectors and all types of other stuff that costs money. And they are always buying new stuff for their selves.I am calling the city and the irs on them. They need to provide accounting for where all this money is going and be audited. they are not gods people. This is not Gods way.

Looking forward to a great week of service.

They help people love them

Always a privilege for our church to be able to visit here!

Im truly blessed to be able to worship God and have a meal here

They serve hot mela 3 times a DAY for the homeless or for the people that need help and need to Hear God

Great spot to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner for free the true American dream go check it out for yourselves they are really kind and treat people like true human beings and are very non-judgmental give it a try and be blessed at the same time

Really cool place

Very helpful so grateful.

Great Compassionate Care Center, Life Transformation Program and Alumni Transitional Housing. Saved many lives.

Very consistant and orderly as GOD has called US to be. TheL💛VE of GOD is shared and shown by and through all the Volunteers and their workers.

ExcellentSocial Services.

They do a good work.

I you, just have to watch out for the staff

I have stage 4 Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and depend on my meals there... However now I am being denied my meals because someone there decided to break the law and throw me out because I have a federally registered service animal... My dog lets me know when Im going to have a seizure...Meanwhile the man they caught masturbating during the church service was allowed to stay and have his meal...I guess having cancer is a crime now...

Mark David and Bob are true saints. Some

Place looks great. Food mighty good.

Good people doing good work.

Great people that treat you with respect

Did some soup kitchen volunteering here. Good people and good cause.

Wonderful charity! Very helpful and generous

This shelter is so old and has served so many people .... What can you say about a place that takes people in from the cold and feeds them. And dating back so long. I remember my Grandmother used to say to me Listen in School and do good, Or youll end up on the Bowery as a little kid i didnt get it. Later i realized what she meant. Back in her day, hell even up to the 90s thats what the Bowery was. Homeless people, Rockers & Punks from CBGBS. Now ironically i could never afford to live on the Bowery.
