On Wednesday, May 29th, 2019, the Breaking Ground's Brook residence is putting on a Memorial Day BBQ, and we need your help!
The Brook, a home for formerly street-homeless and low-income working adults in the Bronx, is in need of approximately 5 volunteers to help make this a special event for our residents by transforming our yard and multi-purpose room into festive spaces. We will need a grill master, and food/refreshment servers from 1:30 - 5:00pm. Most importantly, volunteers will engage with residents in a way that makes them feel not only seen, but embraced by the surrounding community. Volunteers are a great part of this effort, bringing cheer and joy into the lives of the people we serve, and we thank you for spending your time with us.

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.
