The Redwood and the Domenech are two of Breaking Ground's supportive housing sites, dedicated to serving seniors who either have special needs, or are formerly, chronically street homeless. This BBQ is an opportunity for our residents to come together as friends and neighbors, and enjoy the final days of summer in the presence of the volunteers they so very much enjoy. Please join us.
As a volunteer, your first priority is to engage with our residents in a warm and compassionate way, making them feel more at home within their walls. Additionally, you can expect to help facilitate the event by decorating the event space, serving food and refreshments to residents and their guests, taking photographs, and things of the like. Most importantly, we want you to enjoy your time with us, as we surly will enjoy our time with you - we love our volunteers!
Thank you for thinking of us. We hope to see you there.More opportunities with Breaking Ground

Mission Statement
Breaking Ground’s mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Description
At Breaking Ground, we believe that everyone deserves a home.
That’s why, since 1990, we have been providing permanent affordable housing for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Beginning with a single building, we are now New York City’s largest provider of supportive housing. We own and/or operate 24 properties with over 3,530 apartments in New York City and beyond.
- For chronically homeless people, we create safe, secure housing with essential on-site support services to help them address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
- For those at risk of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-important safety net.
Our work has enabled more than 13,000 people to overcome or avoid homelessness since 1990, and we increase that number every single day. At the start of 2016, we have nearly 1,000 units of housing in various stages of development in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and are significantly expanding our Street to Home homelessness outreach program so that we can offer help to every single homeless person we meet.
