Where?

The Bowery Residents Committee was formed in 1971 by a small group of the Bowery's less-fortunates to assist the homeless, poor, and struggling, and it exists today as a community center for local senior citizens.

Their Golden Age Center is in the park at Delancey Street so BRC has a close relationship to M'finda Kalunga Community Garden, with whom it shares many volunteer programs and staff. BRC's main location is on The Bowery, one block away.

The active community garden has a wonderful website about the park, which is a beacon to this diverse community. Public restrooms at Stanton and Hester streets.This park has many issues, some of which are described in this recent New York Times article -  in 2023, fresh attention is being paid to this community resource.
