One of 39 Salvation Army Community Centers in the greater New York region, The Salvation Army Bushwick Community Center serves as a beacon for individuals of all ages, backgrounds and interests. The center offers a full range of programming in a neighborhood that painfully lacks resources and faces many challenges-including drug trafficking and a rising crime rate. At the center, residents find much needed support, whether that means a hot meal at a soup kitchen, affordable day care and after school supervision for children, companionship for seniors, or toys during the holidays.
Last year alone the center served 54,643 meals and snacks to the hungry, provided 10,682 hours of care to children, and distributed 5,291 holiday gifts for those in need.
