Connecting People in Need with Help & Hope

New York City Relief (NYCR) exists to connect the poor, oppressed, and addicted with a path toward help and hope. Through outreach partnerships, we seek to be a bridge between human need and resources to meet those needs. These things we do…that others may live. The Hope Center in Elizabeth, NJ is the home and launching point for our compassionate outreach, including: The Relief Buses, Matthews House (an emergency food pantry), crisis and pastoral counseling, Overcomers Outreach (a 12-step substance abuse support group), and several vibrant and unique urban churches that meet at The Hope Center.

I'll tell you what it means to worship the Lord. Remove the chains of the prisoners who are chained unjustly. Free those who are abused! Share your food with everyone who is hungry; share your home with the poor and homeless. Give clothes to those in need; don't turn away your relatives. -- Excerpt from Isaiah 58:6-12
