Giving Table

ABOUT OUR GIVING TABLE:

Most months we ask for gifts for a special organization.  Every other month, that organization is the Hilton-Parma Food Shelf.  The other months are selected based on our current understanding of their needs.  In the past, we’ve donated to Journey Home, the Aurora House, Cameron Community, the Hilton Clothing Closet, Cadet Cupboard, Coffee Connection – amongst others.  Please check out this month’s Banner here for this month’s Giving Table Wish List.

Note:  Please consider giving a little extra to the church or an organization of your choice.

There are many struggling to meet the needs of the community at this time.

And, remember, prayers are welcomed for all our doctors (including those taking care of our four legged family), nurses, police, firefighters, pharmacists, store clerks, gas station attendants, bank employees, blood donors, and, as you can see, the list goes on and on…  God is beside us, before us, below us, above us, behind us …  Talk to him and lift our community in prayer …

Hilton/Parma Community Food Shelf  & Hamlin Life Solutions Food Pantry

This information is from the Hilton Foodshelf Face Book Page – Clients must call ahead to schedule an appointment and are not allowed to enter the building.  (Note: They will only be open for limited hours on Wednesdays.)  If you have donations for the Food Shelf, call them at 234-2090 to make an appointment to drop them off at the Community Center.  There may still be a drop off box at Tops.  Based on some of the other information on the Face Book Page, the Food Shelf can no longer accept used plastic bags and still does not accept outdated items.  The “Hilton FoodShelf” Face Book page has a list of most needed items.

The Hilton/Parma Community Facebook page can be found here.

Drug & Alcohol Addiction Resources in NYS

It’s been estimated that nearly 500,000 residents of New York State use hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, and another one million have an alcohol use disorder. As a consequence, 14% of all deaths in the state of New York in the last 10 years were due to alcohol and drugs, and in 2016 there were over 9,000 crashes involving drivers who were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, this website has information on rehab centers in NYS.


Mental Health Resources

The side effects of life in modern society, combined with the on-going coronavirus pandemic, have turned mental health into a growing global concern. If you feel increased levels of stress or depression but don’t have the financial means to pay for an in-person or online therapist, you might consider free online therapy.
