Broadway UCC has a long and rich history of supporting various social justice and economic-related agencies that provide clothing, housing, and special needs to families experiencing hardship and loss.

Listed below are a few of those agencies we support and we encourage you to support them, if you are able.

	Exodus Transitional Community is a local non-profit that works as a resource for newly released prisoners to help them get ready to re-enter society. This organization helps find jobs, places to live, and gives out clothes. If you would like to contribute to Exodus, call their office at 917-492-0990 or by email at info@etcny.org
	The Fuller Center for Housing is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide. By forming partnerships with local organizations, The Fuller Center provides the structure, guidance and material support that communities need to build and repair homes for the impoverished among them.
	Habitat for Humanity-New York is a nationwide and local organization that helps to provide housing for the poor. Broadway UCC has a continuous relationship with the New York chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Much of our fundraising goes to support this tremendously helpful organization. See also Habitat for Humanity International.*
	Trinity Place Shelter is a non-sectarian, 10-bed transitional shelter that is open all year to provide LGBTQ youth with a safe place to sleep, eat, and store belongings. Through strong local community partnerships, they are able to provide access to comprehensive medical services, case management, education, career counseling, etc.
	Westside Campaign Against Hunger (WCAH) enables churches and other non-profits to pool their resources into one organization that provides a food pantry and feeding programs specifically designed for the homeless and the poor. Contact the Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew, where the WCAH operates. (212-362-3662; info@wscah.org)
	Women's Advocate Ministry (WAM) is a non-profit organization led by our own Rev. Annie Bovian that fights for women's rights in prisons and jails. Refusing funding by the government, WAM advocates unhindered within the system for fair treatment, access to medication, helping pregnant women receive the proper care, and provides relief when possible to those "lost in the system."
	Neutral Zone of the Greenwich Village Youth Council, a drop-in center for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning runaway and homeless youth from the age of 15 to 22 since 1992. Young people are always fulfilled with the basic needs and the support and connection from their own community. Our well-trained and caring staff provides counseling/referrals and diverse activities such as HIV/AIDS counseling, substance abuse prevention, educational and recreational activities.
