Menno House affordable housing in the heart of Manhattan 314 East 19th Street, New York NY 10003
212 677 1611 (phone) 810 277 1611 (fax) manager@mennohouse.org  Make no mistake: New York City is an expensive place to visit, let alone live. Since 1958, Menno House has provided affordable community housing to volunteers, students and non-profit workers—people who New York needs, who couldn’t afford to work here otherwise. In addition, we host dozens of overnight visitors in our guest rooms every month, at rates far below local hotels. This September, Menno House will celebrate its 50th anniversary! We're eagerly trying to pay off our mortgage in time for the party, and we want to do it without raising the rent. In the last month, thanks to the generosity of many friends, guests and former residents, our debt finally dropped below $80,000. Thank you!
This month, we have been given a new incentive. A dozen donors together pledged to give over $10,000 if we can raise an equal amount in new gifts.
Will you help us to meet this challenge? Your donation is tax-deductable, and we’ll invite you to the anniversary celebration.
