OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1982 by volunteers from Broadway Presbyterian Church, Union Theological Seminary, and Columbia University, what is now known as Broadway Community has grown from providing meals three days a week to providing a broad range of programs serving New Yorkers experiencing homelessness, hunger, and poverty.
For more than 40 years — through times of calm and times of turbulence, times of prosperity and times of recession, times of progress and times of setbacks — we have been there for each other and lived on our belief that to “love thy neighbor” is not a choice, but an obligation.
