Every Thanksgiving, I volunteer at The Bowery Mission. This year, we have high goals to feed the growing number of people and families in need even beyond Thanksgiving.

The Bowery Mission is a place of welcome, care, and healing in New York City. The Bowery Mission has served neighbors experiencing homelessness and hunger since the 1870s, when its neighborhood came to define the term “skid row.”

Help us help more families -- and GoFundMe.org is going to match donations up to $5k this Giving Tuesday.

Hi friends and family! Ireland here. This year I won’t be spending thanksgiving with loved ones but as a way to connect with you all and my community, I will be running the nyc turkey trot and raising money for The Bowery Mission. The mission has been serving the homeless and hungry in Manhattan since 1872, focusing on care that is compassionate and transformational.

A big part of the culture I grew up in has revolved around hospitality, even more so during the holiday season (Nod to our Rudolph family fearless leaders Hoot, Anne, & Judy in the restaurant industry and Grandpa Dee & Grandma Betty Adgate at Thunder Mountain). For me, warmth, food, and shelter are so closely tied with what I know as family. We are privileged not only to have those things, but to be able to use them as the building blocks of our relationships and cultures. I will miss you all this year but please join me in spirit on my turkey trot run and let’s share what we are blessed to have!

As a personal update, I feel so much gratitude right now. Many of you know that I suffered some prolonged health issues this year causing me to leave work. I am incredibly proud to share that I’m doing SO much better thanks to the support of so many of you.

Love to you all. Cheers,

Ireland

Hi, I'm Victor Bernard,

This year, I’m doing something I never imagined I would: running the New York City Marathon.

I’m not a runner—never have been. But I’m lacing up my shoes and training every day because of two reasons that are deeply personal.

The first is my father. This will be his last marathon, and it’s been his dream for years that we run it together. Sharing this challenge with him—mile after mile, borough after borough—is my way of honoring everything he’s passed on to me: perseverance, generosity, and a love for this city.

The second is the Bowery Mission. I’ve been volunteering with them since I was 12 years old. I’ve served meals, shared conversations, and witnessed firsthand the dignity, resilience, and humanity of people who are often unseen. The Mission doesn’t just provide food and shelter—it restores hope. And now, I want to give back in a bigger way.

That’s why I’m raising $4,000 to support the Bowery Mission’s work. Every dollar goes toward providing meals, shelter, and life-transforming programs to New Yorkers in crisis.

This marathon is about more than running. It’s about love—for my father, for this city, and for the people who need our support most.

If you can, please consider donating to this cause. Whether it’s $5 or $50, your generosity will go further than any mile I run.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for believing in something bigger than all of us.

With gratitude,

Victor Bernard

Hi,

I am Kiaan, an 11-year-old boy looking to raise funds for the homeless population in NYC. Whenever I saw a homeless person on the street, I would feel immensely sorry. Then, one day, I thought of an idea: I could donate to a charity. I did some research and found out Bowery Mission was just the charity I was looking for. Ever since, in whatever job I do to earn money, I donate a percentage to Bowery Mission. I hope you all understand, and donate. Please feel free to donate to the website directly.
