New York City Relief

Friendly faces serve up a delicious, hearty vegetable soup that truly tantalizes the taste buds, fresh Portuguese rolls and hot chocolate or iced tea (depending on the season) complete the menu.

Over 20 years time, The Relief Bus has:

Served over 3 million servings of food and beverage.
Connected 120,000 people to help and hope.
Mobilized over 30,000 volunteers to serve with our outreach.
People on the streets show up for the great food, but come away with so much more. Staff and volunteers go out of their way to really LOVE people. Many people on the streets are in a hard place in life and need a friend- someone to talk to who will really listen.

When we discover the needs in people's lives, we go to work to actually help meet those needs. We connect people to shelter, job training, medical care, detox and faith-based drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers. This kind of helping hand can literally transform someone's future and can many times make the difference between life and death. We have seen men and women totally turn their lives around because someone they met on the bus took the time to care. It was the first step to freedom and a new life.
