How they are trying their best to accommodate the homeless is admirable.

The Bowery serves very good food when you need the help.
The Rescue Mission is Christian runned& much like a caring family to look out for you during hard times & encourage you to do better in life.

A lot of homeless people come out around 8:00 every morning, some of them are very dangerous
The best way to find long-term shelter, which may lead to permanent housing, is to go through the Department of Homeless Sevices. The main intake for single men is on 30th Street and for women it's in the Bronx. They'll assess your situation and place you in a city shelter, which ain't no picnic so good luck!

Yes, no one takes your phone. You just can't bring food up the dorm. It's a very easy place to sleep. The showers are hott and they serve breakfast and dinner
Patrice, books are actually not accepted. Since New York City Rescue Mission joined forces with The Bowery Mission, you can find details at www.bowery.org/donategoods.

Hi. I also do not work for this organization but i do volunteer work there and suggest you to call and speak with a case manager.
Hi Tony, first I want to say my thoughts and prayers are with you, I wish you a speedy recovery. Now to answer your question, New York City Bellevue Hospital has access to more programs that can serve and meet your needs. The hospital social workers are better equipped to help you in comparison to New York City Rescue Mission, don't get me wrong, the New York City Rescue Mission does a wonderful job of assisting those in dire need of help, but Bellevue would be better fit to provide you with assistance that is specific to your current needs.
Am looking for a shelter to go too cause the one downtown Brooklyn is not going to take me back in

You have to show up at 4pm and they will tell you if there is room.
Can food left from the prep for a restaurant be donated? If not can you perhaps suggest a good place with kitchen facilities that could receive this kind of food?
Hannah Galena | Sep 13, 2018
William Preston | Sep 13, 2018
Yes! There is staff available 24 hours a day on site. Donations need to be closed properly in the packaging.
No the rescue mission is n not your answer. What you need to do is apply for PATH at the DHS intake center on East 30th Street off of 1st Ave. PATH is the division in DHS that houses families will children. If you bring all of the proper documentation with you and show up early enough in the day, there is a good chance you will be placed on the same day.
Are you given a receipt of donations you give?
I have large amount almost new, very clean & good clothes I want to donate.
Do you accept shoes?
Plates/utensils?
The Tribeca campus is overnight night emergency shelter only. If you are working you can try to get in a shelter program at the Bowery Mission main facility at 227 Bowery Ave.
Hello, I haven't been here in years so I just wanted to know. When did The Bowery Mission moved their location and what did happen to the Rescue Mission?
Deronne Harris | Mar 16, 2022
Peter Smith | Mar 16, 2022
The NYC Rescue Mission merged with the Bowery Mission organization around 3-4 years ago. The Bowery renovated the 90 Lafayette NYCRM to include the headquarters, while still serving as an emergency overnight shelter.
Hi, do you accept wheel chairs, walkers, canes, crutches etc?

oldman swagga aka Scooba Steve | Sep 12, 2021
No they won't accept
Question when you're done doing intake when can you see someone in social service
Yes but you would be better off going through DHS NYC. for homeless placement since you have children or women's services. They can do more to accommodate you and your children's needs.
No you just come in and do the intake! Women is from 3pm to 3:45pm and men's intake is from 4pm to 4:45pm if you never been there before you get automatically 7days
Can I donate Blankets? And would I be able to bring them in?
Rebecca Mercado | Sep 12, 2020
David Darcy | Sep 12, 2020
Sure why not everything HELPS. Blankets, towels, clothing, shoes, etc. Are welcomed and appreciated. So, yes you can bring that stuff in. Thank you n anyone that brings said items in. They will be greatly appreciated!!! GOD BLESS....
I go for dinner never slept there cause always full once a bed or beds come available there is a lottery I believe. I slept on the street when I was homeless.
Is this a place for couples where the female partner is pregnant and 4 months in and can stay for about 6 months whole working on her to g a section 8 vouter
I believe that they still accept items 24/7. I'm not sure if there's a current list of items in need, it would be best to give them a call to obtain the most recent information.
It costs nothing. If it's your first time you can stay for free for 7 days. After you go into a lottery for an additional 7 days.
How many people in a room?
Nat Taylor | Sep 13, 2019
Vito | Sep 13, 2019
You know, I never counted. However, people get a ticket when they come in and they are called by that. So, here is the thing. As people are called they pick up some clothing items if they find something and then they leave. More people will arrive. Until there are either no more clothes or they are closing up for the day.
Do you guys accept bras?
Azelle Rose Harris | Sep 13, 2019
Corey Anderson | Sep 13, 2019
yes
Where is there a homeless shelter I can go for shelter?
Wayne Durant | Sep 13, 2019
Peter Smith | Sep 13, 2019
90 Lafayette Street, just off Canal Street near the 6-Q-N-R trains is the New York City Rescue Mission. First timers get guaranteed 7 nights in a bed with showers available, dinner each eve, breakfast each morning, all for free.
Sort of. You get a bed for a week guaranteed. Then every week you put your name on a lottery. If your name is drawn your guranteed another week. If not you have to find some other place.

What!? It's not even the NYC Rescue Mission anymore. It's the Bowery Mission Assessment Center Tribeca.
Can I stop by at 11:30 in very hungry need some food and a place to sleep for tonight
Kevin Santana | Sep 13, 2019
Rachel Albanese | Sep 13, 2019
You cannot sleep here and there is no food at 11:30pm. They are not open at this time. Try Bowery mission, they have left over sandwiches sometimes and will let you in if there is room, but you'll have to sleep in a chair
Do ya expect women?

Thanks!

I know they take it all. They distribute it out to those less fortunate and they are fair and also help you get back on your feet. God bless every last one of them. There doing the lords work.
I asked earlier about the HRA men’s shelter. My son was sexually assaulted. The man was arrested, but now he is out of jail and he was allowed back in. They refused to move my son. If he’d been female, they would have moved her into a safe place.

Please contact The Coalition For The Homeless for legal advice..
You can sign up to volunteer with Nikki. Options for food prep, food service and other non-meal-related options exist. Dinner service shift is 4:30-7 but many others exist too.
