Butterfly Outreach Ministry (BOM) helps address food insecurity in the Lower East Side. Despite the challenges following the December 2020 fire that destroyed Middle Church’s building, BOM continues its vital work through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. Every Sunday at 2:00 PM, we gather at the LES Comm-Unity Fridge (602 East 9th Street, corner of East 9th Street and Avenue B) to distribute meals and share kindness.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
