One of New York City's largest and most comprehensive social services agencies, BRC serves men and women who are homeless, or at risk of becoming so, most of whom suffer from mental illness, substance addiction, or a combination. BRC gives our clients the knowledge and skills to stay sober and healthy and the sense of responsibility and value to find and maintain a home--in other words, the means to achieve permanent independence. BRC helps these neediest New Yorkers overcome the challenges of addiction, physical and mental illness, and poverty, and improves life in the community.
We are committed in our mission to help the homeless of New York City and are always happy to hear from others who have the same passion and desire to make a difference. Getting started as a volunteer this Thanksgiving is a simple one, though there is a process in place prior to obtaining any assignments. If you and all members of your party would please take a moment to complete our New Volunteer Registration form ( http://www.brc.org/volunteer_registration.php ), it would be appreciated. Please be sure to indicate your interest in Thanksgiving! Once your form has been received, you will receive an invitation to our next scheduled orientation so you can learn more about BRC, what we do within the community and how you can help this Thanksgiving and year round. Attendance is required.
Though we do still have a few positions left in various locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, shifts are filling very fast. I'm afraid once a time slot is filled, it will be closed to further assignments. Available shifts will be sent to you prior to you committing to orientation, so that you can help determine if you are able to participate.
I look forward to receiving your completed registration form and getting you started. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in contact through this posting or visit our website at www.BRC.org for more contact info.

Mission Statement
Helping people reclaim lives lost: We restore hope and dignity by offering opportunities for health and self-sufficiency.
Description
BRC: Helping People to Reclaim Lives Lost. BRC is a leading provider of housing and services to thousands of New York City's individuals in need. Offering a hand-up, not a handout, BRC asks one simple question: What can we do for you? BRC sees the potential in each individual it serves and provides each the opportunity to find it. Whatever our clients may seek, BRC has it, 24/7/365: outreach to homeless people living in public spaces, drug treatment, mental health care, comprehensive medical services, vocational services, and supportive communities in which to live. BRC succeeds by building trust with the people we serve; listening, and then acting, providing housing - both temporary and permanent. Building trust takes time, and a compassionate, dedicated staff of almost 1,000 employees and 1,000+ volunteers that persevere 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, never giving up.
