The Bowery Mission

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. This issue is a common factor that leads people to homelessness, including women who come to The Bowery Mission in need of care. Tomorrow, our Associate Director of Clinical Services, Asa Scott, will represent The Bowery Mission on a panel discussion with our friends at Reveal Beauty. We're grateful for Asa's dedication to our community and her experience, including as a NYS Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC). Tune in tomorrow to learn from Asa and other experts Thursday, October 22, at 6 p.m.: https://bit.ly/3ohaTxV #DVAM #domesticviolenceawareness

Despite these uncertain times, we kept our tradition of celebrating the women in our community who have made significant progress in their goals of growth towards independence! Congratulations on reaching these milestones! They have overcome different challenges such as homelessness, loss and addiction. In The Bowery Mission’s Residential & Community Programs, they collaborated with our staff to develop individualized goals and action plans to make progress towards independence. We have been amazed by God’s work in these women through their breakthroughs and accomplishments over the past year. See more stories and photos from the event here: https://bit.ly/2IwYDJ3

Yesterday, we received our beautiful new, refrigerated van from our friends at Whole Foods Market as part of the Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program! This van will increase our capacity to rescue both perishable and non-perishable food throughout #NewYorkCity.
