Providing help and hope to the hungry, homeless and hurting men and women of New York City. The New York City Rescue Mission has been caring for the needs of the poor and the homeless of our great city for over 142 years. As the city has grown over those years, so has the homeless population. We remain committed as ever to helping to be a part of the solution for this segment of the population. The New York City Rescue Mission is supported by caring individuals, foundations and businesses. Less than two percent of the Mission’s revenue comes from government funding. Over the past 18 months, the Mission has taken on its biggest project and has added three more floors to help even more people in our community, including women for the first time in its 142 year history.
