Our Mission
Philoxenia – the Greek word for “friend to the stranger” – expresses the heart of our mission: to feed and clothe the homeless.
May those who go hungry every day know that there are many compassionate individuals who love them, care for them and will feed them until there is no longer a need to do so.
Please join us in helping to care for those who need us the most.
“If you can’t feed a hundred people then just feed one.” Mother Teresa, Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Given our prior experience working with Vibrant Emotional Health in East Harlem, we thought this would be a good starting point. With our goal to fill 100 bags and provide approximately 1,500 meals, we invited our supporters to "Sponsor a Bag" with pantry staples that we would give to those in need in New York City.
