About Broadway Community

Broadway Community serves hundreds of New Yorkers experiencing homelessness and hunger through a broad range of programs including a soup kitchen, a food pantry, a seven-night-a-week shelter, on-site medical services, a computer lab, employment assistance, benefits enrollment, a life skills program, and more. Our guests receive more than meals, shelter, and services: Broadway Community strives to create an environment of support approachability, friendliness, dignity, and welcome for all.
