Mission
Our goals are to serve the needs of New York's less fortunate, hungry, and homeless people for food and the vital social services that will give them a springboard back to the mainstream of life.
Every Saturday we prepare and serve a continental breakfast for approximately 120 guests and prepare and serve, as in a restaurant, a early afternoon dinner for approximately 340 guests. Simultaneously with our food preparation we also provide social services and a job readiness program. We feel strongly that our food program and our additional social services help establish a caring community which advances mutual respect among those who have and those who have not and makes our environment more humane. There is not one paid position in our operation; everything is done by volunteers.

Organizational Demographics
In order to support nonprofits and gain valuable insight for the sector, GuideStar worked with D5—a five-year initiative to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in philanthropy—in creating a questionnaire. This section is a voluntary questionnaire that empowers organizations to share information on the demographics of who works in and leads organizations. To protect the identity of individuals, we do not display sexual orientation or disability information for organizations with fewer than 15 staff. Any values displayed in this section are percentages of the total number of individuals in each category (e.g. 20% of all Board members for X organization are female).

Diversity notes from the nonprofit
Our volunteer base comes from NYC and its environs. The city and its environs are diverse. Our volunteer base naturally reflects that diversity. We anticipate expanding our board in the near future which will add to our board member diversity and better reflect the volunteer base.
