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.
