Nature and Purpose of Agency
NY School of Urban Ministry was created to serve the needs of the people, build relationships with the community and provide educational resources for services available.

Tasks Available for Students
Food Pantry
Assist on Fridays in the food pantry from 9:30am – 12pm

Compassion Room
Located at 31-10 47th street and 31st Ave (by Rite Aid off of Broadway).  Help needed 12:30pm – 4pm on Saturday November 6th.
In our compassion room, as we call it, we store the clothes, toiletries we give out as well as tracts, bibles and other related material for evangelism we do here.  When groups come back from their ministry, the supplies not used are not always put back where they came from and thus we can use help to tidy up that room and to put supplies back where they are suppose to be on the shelves.  I also have donated toiletry products to make up kits from.
