About the Mainchance Drop-In Center:

The Grand Central Neighborhood Social Services Corporation (GCNSSC) is committed to providing immediate relief to Midtown Manhattan's homeless population. Through their Mainchance Drop-In Center, they offer basic necessities (food, clothing, showers, and chairs for respite) and a range of social services including employment counseling, treatment referrals, and housing assistance.

The Mainchance Drop-In Center is GCNSSC’s multi-service facility and home base. At Mainchance, clients can stay in emergency overnight shelter or catch a bus to a faith-based overnight bed program; eat 3 meals a day kitchen; and take an exercise class with one of the community volunteers.

The GCNSSC Mainchance Drop-In Center serves a diverse street homeless population of single adults in and around Midtown Manhattan. As one of the city's largest drop-in centers, they assist individuals of many ages, backgrounds and cultures.  Most of all, at Mainchance, there is a refuge from the street in a protective, welcoming and supportive environment 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
