Light at the end of the tunnel.
  • Wednesday, November 7th, is the anniversary of The Chapel at The Bowery Mission. We prepared a celebratory coffee table booklet for supporters of The Bowery Mission and thought that you would like an exclusive peek. (See below!)
  • The Bowery Mission traces its legacy to the 1st American rescue mission founded by Jerry and Maria McAuley. On October 8, 1872, the McAuleys’ took possession of a simple wooden building and put up a sign that read “Helping Hand for Men,” which would later be known as McAuley Water Street Mission (1879), and New York City Rescue Mission (2000)
  • For its 150th Anniversary, we prepared a profile of the role of The Bowery Mission in the life of department store founder J.C. Penney. Click here to read it!
