The Bowery Mission is a rescue mission and men's shelter located at 227 Bowery between Rivington and Stanton Streets in the Bowery neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It provides food, medical services and employment assistance to the working poor and homeless men women and children.〔〔 At night The Bowery Mission opens its chapel to serve as a emergency shelter for homeless men. In addition to these services, (The Bowery Mission ) offers a long-term (6-12 month) residential program based on Christian Discipleship, providing homeless men the opportunity to rejoin society as working, contributing members.
==History==
The Bowery Mission was founded in 1879 by the Reverend Albert Gleason Ruliffson and his wife.〔〔 It was the third rescue mission established in the United States,〔 and the second in New York City.〔 The Mission is currently administered by The Christian Herald Association.
In 1895 the Mission was bought by Dr. Louis Klopsch, owner of the ''The Christian Herald'', to save it from economic distress; he also bought the building it was in, which up to that time had been leased.〔 Klopsch became the president, and the Mission was formally incorporated in 1897.〔〔 One prominent board member was Sarah J. Bird, a philanthropist who was known as "the Mother of the Bowery Mission" due to her long-time service to the organization from 1881 to 1914.〔 Supervision of the Mission went to John Greener Hallimond, originally from England, who introduced many innovative services, such as a home for women in Brooklyn, an employment agency and a breadline, which began in 1902.〔 With money left over from a food drive, Klopsch created a "Fresh Air Home" in Nyack, New York to get inner-city children into the countryside during the summer.〔
