This late 19th-century illustration shows Coffee Night at the Water Street Mission - a weekly feast for tramps, outcasts, and bums. The day is Saturday and they begin filing in by three o'clock. The rooms fills quickly and many have to be turned away. At seven, Mission workers bring in the coffee pots and then sandwiches. In 1872 businessman Frederick Hatch bought the property in Lower Manhattan that became the Water Street Mission. He had met Jerry McAuley and put him in charge of this new venture - America's first Rescue Mission.
