New York City Rescue Mission Review

Well run, efficiently managed. A number of campuses throughout Manhattan. A critical safety net if and when it's needed.

Customer service over the phone are rude and insensitive .they like to think they are helighe, but they are not.

Terrible place with a 5 p.m. curfew mandatorily instated upon clients and other options that they have available without curfew you have to pay for

Some of the individuals were nice, the chefs are always welcoming.

Lack of professionalism or understanding. Makes you feel less than you ever felt before...especially the Supervisors of security who's favorite line to homeless individuals was "I DON'T CARE"

The fact that they do "bed lotteries" for those who's seven days are up, proves they're not interested in helping the chronically homeless. You can barely get to see a caseworker in there nevertheless an advocate. The receptionist/security guard never knows anything useful and you're forced to roam the streets of Soho, rain or shine, for hours at a time. It's kind of a joke. They talk about positive energy and positive vibes but they never get anything done for you. Also, forget about coming to this shelter if you're working past the afternoon. You're screwed out of a bed immediately.

This was the first Shelter and worst shelter I've ever stayed in. The bed bugs ate most of my arm off. And there rules are way to strick for the clients they are supposed to be taking care of. I would never recommend this place. Sleep on a bench. Or go to the many clean reputable organizations. Project Renewal, BRC....

Good food good bed thank god there here. I enjoyed the time I was allowed there at the Rescue Mission and I would like to say thank you for providing when I couldn't provide for myself at the time. If I'm in need of help I know where I would go thank you again Rescue Mission.

Would be better if they had lockers for the homeless to leave things behind and go out to apply to jobs

I was here in 2014 for one night. So yeah.was not good.homeless shelters are not good the case workers dont work with you.

Bringing food and clothing here feels like the thing to do but the staff are so truly appreciative that it feels like the only thing to do. Sometimes we forget the impact we can easily make. Something so simple can change a persons day...or life.

Thank you beyond words NYC Rescue Mission I had a brief stay and it was better than I ever expected.. HOPE really does live here!! I'm forever grateful for the staff and the great people who are in my position and who shared their stories with me..I'll remember them always! Breakfast was the meal I looked forward to lol..Just be Early for everything..I Pray that God will look after this place and the people who dwell there.

Went here for meals a few times when I was going through a rough patch (job loss, loss of my apartment, living in a homeless shelter, etc). The food served at dinner is mainly food that has been donated by restaurants - I had EXCELLENT meals here.

Anybody panhandling saying they are hungry is full of you-know-what. There are PLENTY of free meals available in NYC - you just have to put the legwork into getting them. The panhandlers are either lazy, lying, or looking for drug money. Granted it might not be exactly what you want to eat, but it is food.

It's a life saving place. Wonderful staff. Great food.

Not so bad. Needed a little more time to find clothes

Doing a great job showing genuine care for people and meeting practical needs.

A really helpful facility, here you can see the other side of New York

Beautiful staff! They showed us so much love and respect went went there and they Love everyone who walk through their doors.

It's a bed. If your homeless or down on your luck. Nice people who run it, but some sketchy people stay there.

Very helpful, lots of resources and information. They have time to be personal and caring.

No compassion for the homeless me evil people speak down to you yell at you take your bath and put you out on the street not Christian like at all the ambassador's don't do their job they have no sense of direction for a homeless person and you can never speak to a supervisor

Its good place to get same rest and get vray good sleep i can complain its vray clean and good food but the working person in the
Morning the are nit so good i like the eving people who works the thank u

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help and kindness to me. You have certainly been a hand extended to me in my time of need. God bless you greatly. A grade of A+ I give to you.

People were good to me there.
Thank you.

It is almost like a typical government services type of place where they tell you they can help you, but it's really a hit or miss situation. They either help you, or they don't. Always make sure to have a plan B place to go to if they can't or don't help.

It's okay but u only get 21 days then you have to find somewhere else to rest up

A great place, they offer a lot of services. They have clothing and also they serve food.

Great if you are down on your luck, Nice service warm employees, all in all a great olace

I recently became the new owner and ceo of The NYC Rescue mission. Although it hungers for improvements in all areas it is much better than the Bowery Mission.

It's a joke but I have to say that they try to get only curtain type of people help only

This is a homeless feeding and shelter program in New York City. It helps to support people in need of placement temporarily and supplies meals. They are in danger of being closed down due to lack of funds. Hopefully they will be able to find funding since this is a wonderful supportive program for people in need.

I volunteered today. Fed the homeless...will definitely do it again.

THEY SAVED MY LIFE. WHEN I FIRST CAME TO NEW YORK IT WAS JUST ME GOD AND MY PRAYERS. I DIDN'T HAVE AN ADDRESS. THEY TOOK ME IN. PROVIDED HEAT HOT WATER AND A BED. A VERY CLEAN AND CARING ENVIRONMENT. THEY SENT ME TO ED THOMPSON VETERANS CENTER IN QUEENS FOR DRUG AND LIFE REHABILITATION. MY LIFE HAS CHANGED COMPLETELY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES AND BE AN ASSET TO THEIR COMMUNITY

They are strict with hygene which is a big plus. You get clean sheets for your bed, food to eat, and a place to stay. I am grateful for this place.

Wonderful staff!!! Clean environment and overall great place to stay in an emergency!!! 5 stars

Not bad just nasty place. 50 people a floor 200 total 100 men 100 women. They really help homeless people out. That's why I gave them 5 stars. I didn't love being there at all. However, most the people there good with being needy.

The only place iv'e seen in my travels where your going to be treated like a person of value, by people that actually act like Christians is at the shelters the Mormons run in Salt Lake

Great place to be if you have an emergency and need a place to sleep for a night or two, breakfast and dinner, also devotions to lift up your spiritual mood. This Rescue mission is not for you if you cannot follow rules and regulations because there are rules to keep you and the staff safe. They also have certificate programs for those who want to change their lives. Remember this is not a shelter just a temporary place of rescue until you get on your feet. Best thing to do when you're at the Rescue Mission is get with the program. Their are people who are back home with families because of the mission. Sometimes they return but it's all good, It cannot be a hundred percent. No one is perfect, the mission is there to help again. Thanks NYRM.

Nothing was explained to me, different people telling me different things, you have an early ass curfew but what If you had to do something? Like an appointment etc. You have to do an intake everyday, cause stupid people leave so there's that rule thanks to them. It's only a place to rest your head at and shower. You're a "lotto" number once a week being there is up, like they think being homeless is a game?.. You can't even leave your belongings there. It's okay to sleep but not a great shelter.

Lousey for these POOR HOMELESS PEOPLE!!
Limited showers, Nasty smelly place!!

Mon, Wed, Fri anyone in the city can come in for a free hot meal. No questions asked

First time very friendly people's great services good food

Clean place, if you get there early you can get a clean bed, hot shower and good food. Stayed here one night and it is better than main chase in Lexington. But for women get there before 4 so you can get a bed. And the beds were not bad at all clean linen is given to everyone and they require that you shower b4 getting in bed and if you don't have any sleepwear they will give it to you. And the church from Communitas is great and very moving, also the serve coffee b4 service and all are welcome. It was a good and calming despite being a walk in.

This place was my last hope in NYC and it worked. Dignity, discipline and great food. Hehe Thanks guys.. without you my beginnings here will not be possible.

Great place to help homeless people with housing and resources to get them back on their feet and getting them employment

Great place that men and women hear the gospel of Christ and have physical needs met. Thank you for allowing churches to be a partner in your ministry.

Excellent place to rebuild your life, great food created by chef Trevor.
Thanks for all the donor that contribute to the rescue mission

Not bad for a last resort but its refreshing to find a shelter that is not predominantly the prison population

WHEN I WAS IN SEMINARY A SMALL BIBLE SCHOOL I DID MY IN SERVICE AT THE MISSION SPENT THE SUMMER WORKING WITH REV MINOR HAD A WONDERFUL TIME STILL HAVE MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES CAN REMEMBER HEARING BROTHER LOUIS THE CHURCH IS NOT COMING YOU ARE ON I WOULD CALL OUT THANKS GO INTO THE CHAPEL AND PRAY AS I OPENED MY THOMPSON BIBLE AND ASKED GOD FOR HIS TOPIC FOR THOSE WHO WOULD BE PRESENT FO THE SERVICE. I ALWAYS ENJOYED SLEEPING IN THE STAFF DORM ALWAYS ENJOYED THE MEALS AND ESPECIALLY THE FAMILY LIKE FELLOWSHIP I WAS 19 BACK IN 1970 WHEN I WAS DOING MY INSERVICE I AM NOW 68 AND STILL HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES FROM BACK WHEN IT WAS MC CAULEY WATER STREET RESCUE MISSION GOD BLESS YOU ALL AS YOU CONTINUE TO RESCUE THE PERISHING AND BRING HOPE TO ALL

Oldest rescue mission in the country. Serves dinner.

Omg, I stayed here for one night very bad experience for me. When I took the elevator up to the women's dorm located on the 2nd floor as soon as I walked off the elevator it look like I was in boot camp the way the beds were set up. You couldn't get in bed just yet, you had to be told to take a shower and you had to wait your turn to wash your ass. One lady set there all night almost. They will supply you with a towel so you Betta have your on soap and wash cloth because they only supply towels. All I got from them on my first night was attitudes from the female staff and weird looks from the other women while I was staying there. But the men floor has more privileges than the women said my husband. I would not recommend nobody to say here only if you really need a place to stay and don't have many options. But I do recommend the soup kitchen, the food is good.

Not Organized and not treated like someone who needs help.

Loved volunteering here! Everyone is professional and friendly- makes it fun!

The New York City Rescue Mission of Manhattan New York is an organization that I'm not too sure if it's non-profit organization or not but regardless in a daily and weekly basis they are doing outreach and helping the homeless community in the greater New York City area get reffered to services, find a meal in a mutli daily basis, and trying to get these people so housing or at least temporary shelter for the night or week. From there they also do refferals to other services that cab further help the community. Great work guys 5 stars.

Great place to eat dinner. Always enough to eat and u will leave full
