We are a soup kitchen and community center committed to ending hunger and poverty in Ocean Hill, Brownsville, and Bedford Stuyvesant. Neighbors Together is a soup kitchen and social service center committed to ending hunger and poverty Neighbors Together is committed to ending hunger and poverty in the Ocean Hill/Brownsville/Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhoods of Brooklyn, one of the lowest income areas in New York City. Our mission of not just fighting but ending hunger and poverty is deeply grounded in our belief in the dignity and potential of each person to be a vital part of creating a more just society. Since our founding in 1982, Neighbors Together has been fighting hunger and poverty with three integrated programs:• Our Community Café provides free, nutritious meals to 400 people a day to ease the immediate crisis of hunger;• Our Empowerment Program addresses the entrenchment of problems that lead to hunger: unemployment, lack of education, homelessness, addiction, and inadequate health care;• Our Community Action Program organizes our members through education and action to transform public policies that too often compound rather than relieve poverty.In an extremely marginalized community, Neighbors Together is an antidote to isolation for many of our members. Beyond the tangible scope of our programs, Neighbors Together offers a sense of home, belonging, stability and personal agency for our members who struggle to preserve these essentials amid poverty's chaos. There are no other agencies in our area that provide such comprehensive support.
