LEFSA (Life Experience and Faith Sharing Associates) is a nonprofit, interdenominational empowerment ministry sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of New York. Founded in 1986 in response to homelessness in New York City, it serves people experiencing homelessness, including those living in city-sponsored shelters and on the streets.

Its mission focuses on solidarity with people facing oppression, working toward liberation, and building a more just society. LEFSA also engages in practical outreach; its official site describes community efforts that have provided groceries, clothing, and other items through a pop-up pantry.

LEFSA is located at 1991 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10035. Learn more about its mission on the official LEFSA website. People seeking broader support can explore New York homeless assistance resources and federal assistance resources. Visit LEFSA’s official site to confirm current program details.
