New York City (The Bronx)

Date: June 22 - 28
Our youth will be working with the Center for Student Missions to minister
to the thousands of homeless in the NYC area. According to the Coalition
for the Homeless, during 2005 the number of homeless New Yorkers residing
in shelters each night has reached the highest point in New York City's history.
In February 2005 some 36,200 homeless men, women, and children were sleeping
each night in the New York City shelter system, including 14,900 children,
12,600 adult family members, and 8,700 single adults. Thousands more sleep
on city streets, park benches, and subway trains. Some of the things you
might find our team of youth doing in The Bronx is working in soup kitchens,
working at a food bank, doing street evangelism, doing ESL tutoring, and
working at a children’s home. |
