A Place to Flourish

Based in New York City on the Lower East Side, The Bowery Mission is one of the most historic and dedicated non-profit organizations, serving and helping those facing homelessness, hunger, and other hardships for over 150 years.

With the doors open 365 days a year, The Bower Mission services 1,000 to 1,200 people a day, providing food, clothing, counseling, shelter, and a tranquil place for its clients. Last year alone the organization provided over 320,000 meals, 66,000 nights of sleep, 45,000 showers, and 32,000 articles of clothing while treating every person who steps through its door like family.

George Oliphant, host of NBC’s home renovation show “George to the Rescue,” recently surprised the center with a well-deserved renovation. Working alongside general contractor SilverLining, Inc., Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP, Cline Bettridge Bernstein Lighting Design, and generous contributors including DMF Lighting, the team transformed the building’s life-changing career center, along with a lounge area, into comfortable and rejuvenating spaces with next-level amenities for its hardworking volunteers, staff and clients.

DMF was proud to donate its M Series Commercial recessed downlight and wall washers to assist with the renovation.
