The Bowery Mission's 2025 Valentine Gala

We look forward to welcoming you to our annual Valentine Gala! On Thursday, February 13, 2025, we’ll celebrate The Bowery Mission’s enduring dedication — made possible by thousands of donors and volunteers — to New Yorkers experiencing homelessness and hunger.

For more than 150 years, The Bowery Mission has been devoted to caring for our neighbors through hot meals, overnight shelter and holistic residential programs that prepare them for independent living. As the need intensifies, so does our commitment to providing these vital services.

Your generosity makes our work possible, and we can’t wait to spend an evening with you as we honor this storied history while anticipating even more lives transformed in the future.

Please consult your investment or tax adviser regarding payment of bifurcated donations to gala events. We are unable to accept $15,000 table purchases through Donor Advised Funds. Any donation that receives no benefits in return can be made from a Donor Advised Fund. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Since the 1870s, The Bowery Mission has been a place of welcome, care and healing for New York neighbors experiencing homelessness and hunger. Our Annual Valentine Gala raises funds for our emergency meal and shelter services as well as our residential programs, which provide individualized, holistic care for men and women taking the next step on their journey to independent living. The Bowery Mission also offers year-round enrichment opportunities for youth through our Mont Lawn City Camp program, which culminates in an unforgettable summer experience at Mont Lawn Camp in Pennsylvania’s Poconos region.
