The Bowery Mission, founded in 1879, is a well-known non-profit organization based in New York City. Its primary goal is to provide essential services to the homeless and hungry population. The mission offers meals, shelter, medical care, and long-term recovery programs to help individuals overcome addiction, secure employment, and transition to independent living. With several locations across the city, The Bowery Mission continues to be a vital resource for those in need, aiming to transform lives through compassion and support. Yesterday InterContinental New York Barclay team had the distinct pleasure of volunteering at The Bowery Mission. Our team was honored to contribute to the Mission's inspiring work, providing essential services and support to those in need. Through this meaningful experience, we were able to witness firsthand the profound impact The Bowery Mission has on transforming lives and fostering hope in our community. It was a rewarding experience that deepened our commitment to giving back and making a positive difference in the lives of those in need!🚛🚚🙏🏼 #IHG #Volunteer #InterContinental #InspiredByBarclay #BoweryMission

To celebrate Pride Month, the InterContinental New York Barclay teamed up with The Ali Forney Center to host a snack drive donation! The Ali Forney Center is the nation's largest provider of shelter and comprehensive services dedicated to homeless LGBTQ+ youth aged 16-24. Their mission is to protect these youth from the harms of homelessness. In December of 1997, Ali Forney was found killed in the neighborhood where Ali was forced to live after being made homeless due to homophobia. Ali was 22 years old. Ali’s tragic death called attention to the atrocious conditions for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in New York City. Each year, the Ali Forney Center serves over 2,200 youth with food, shelter, jobs, and other essential resources. The Barclay team wanted to support the center to ensure it can continue providing quality service in a safe LGBTQ+ environment. The Barclay team decorated the snack bags with positive messages and inspiring drawings before donating them to encourage positivity and support. Together, we can create a world where everyone is accepted and loved for who they are. Keep shining bright and spreading love! 🌈 #IHG #pridehowyoupride #pridemonth #InspiredByBarclay #InterContinental
