Be Able. Together.

A community space where people find help, purpose, and belonging – together.

We walk alongside neighbors facing homelessness, instability, and life transitions in Manhattan

Our Impact.

Real Stories. Real Change.

These are snapshots of the stories and relationships built over time. These are changes that lift up everyone in our community through housing, employment, and education.

Success at Be Able doesn’t always look big… but it’s always meaningful.

What makes Be Able so special is the diverse community and it's real... it feels like home.

Our "Why"

We noticed the gaps — and the neighbors falling through them.

When people need a place to rest, regroup, or reconnect to stability, Be Able exists to meet them there.

We wanted to open up a shop for those out there who perhaps don’t fit in, are reluctant to move forward, or don’t know-how. We each have ample experiences with the fantastic social service organizations of the Manhattan area and have taken note of the growing need to serve those in the gaps. Operating from a stance of loving your neighbor as yourself, we will serve our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Ways to Get Involved

Change happens when a community shows up — together.

Here are a few meaningful ways to be part of the work.

Give

Your financial support helps keep programs accessible, shelves stocked, and hope within reach. Every gift directly strengthens our ability to serve neighbors in tangible, life-changing ways.

Donate

Gently used items become practical resources for individuals and families working toward stability. What you no longer need can meet a real, immediate need in our community.

Volunteer

Your time and presence make Be Able possible. Whether serving for a day or consistently showing up, volunteers create connection, dignity, and lasting impact.
