For more than 40 years, on the fourth Sunday of the month, volunteers from Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church have led evening worship and served dinner to residents of the Bowery Mission in lower Manhattan. Founded in 1879, the Bowery is the third-oldest gospel mission in the United States. It is a place where homeless men can begin life again, empowered by Jesus’ message of salvation and God’s enduring love. Contact: Christy Ezelle (

The Committee on Homelessness serves Christ by befriending the homeless and providing them shelter, connecting them to needed resources, and working with others who seek to end homelessness. 
FAPC operates an overnight Shelter 365 days of the year for 12 older adult men who are currently awaiting permanent NYC housing. Volunteers are needed to provide food, serve as early evening hosts, stay overnight or assist with special events like holiday parties. Contact Joe Vedella at 
Hot meals have been prepared and delivered to 30-40 homebound, elderly neighbors every Saturday morning and on holidays for over 20 years. Caring volunteers are needed whenever time is available to help with meal preparation and to deliver meals. Contact Bob Brennan at
