Stated Purpose:
Neighbors Together is committed to ending hunger and poverty in the Ocean Hill, Brownsville and Bedford Stuyvesant communities in Brooklyn, three of the lowest-income areas in New York City.

Neighbors Together fights hunger and poverty with three integrated programs: the Community Cafe soup kitchen provides hot, nutritious meals to 400 people a day to ease the immediate crisis of hunger; the Empowerment Program connects our members to a wide range of stabilizing resources (housing, employment, benefits, legal advocacy, health and mental health services); and the Community Action Program engages our members on community organizing, policy advocacy and leadership development to improve public policies that directly impact low-income people.
