January 18, 2021
On a day like today when we honor a great man, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I am reminded that DREAMS ARE WORTH PURSUING. Dr. King dreamed of equality, opportunity, justice, peace and unity. These are all things worth pursuing and it is a wonderful and difficult thing to work hard towards seeing them accomplished in this world.
We're grateful for the month of January and the continuing services that we have been blessed to provide to our community. Food pantry and warm coat/clothing distributions are happening 4 days a week to over 200 local families. Baby Blessings is happening every month, on the third Tuesday, we're starting up the drive-thru family hot meals again January 20th in cooperation with Huntington Assembly and Friends of the Huntington Station Latin Quarter. There's so much happening. We've been working hard to get it all coordinated and we are so grateful that things are going so smoothly as we move forward through these cold winter months.
We thank you for sharing our love for the community and our heart to serve by supporting our mission.
We are still serving 3 times the number of families we were serving at this time last year. That's hard to believe but it's true. It's been consistent and we've been so happy to have what is needed to share with the people when they come. There's nothing better than saying, "We can help you." or "Here's some food and a gift card for your family."
I love asking myself questions and provoking myself in thought. Today my question is, "What is your dream?" At 54 years of age I have some pretty amazing dreams. Dreams of the mission moving forward in its service and fine tuning and expanding some of our programs. Dreams of God's continued provision in amazing ways as we grow. Dreams of sharing so much love in ways that we have yet to experience. Exciting dreams. Dreams for my family and friends to move forward in their paths of pursuit. Good things are ahead. I believe that, even though times may seem hard.
One of the most important things that we can do during hard times is to let people know that they are not alone. We are here for them and to share that with them as well as the message that God is here for us all is life changing.
Here's a verse that helps me to simplify and serve. "But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love and don't take yourself too seriously--take God seriously." Micah 6:8 Another versions states that we are to "do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God". Striving to do those three things as we serve will keep us on our toes and busy as we move forward every day.
There's so much to accomplish and we are grateful for all that has been accomplished, especially since March 2020.
In and of ourselves we didn't know how or even if we would be able to continue but the words "stay the course" were introduced to me and here we are....staying the course, pursuing the dreams of service and walking out the work one day at a time.
People like you help to make our mission a reality. We are grateful for the community's support for over 55 years.
We are so happy for all those who came before us and did a lot of work and gave sacrificially so the HHRM would be here for future generations. Would you consider supporting our mission today? What is your dream?
Serving Together,
Kim Gambino

WORKING TOGETHERWe are in our 56th Year of Service to God & Our Community.
We are grateful for the opportunity to have served God and the Huntington, NY, & Long Island community for over 54 years. Through various programs, and with the support of many wonderful people, we have been able to meet a variety of material and spiritual needs. Our Hope Is To Be A Blessing It is our desire that we can continue to be a blessing to those with whom we encounter on a daily basis for many more years. God willing and with your continued support, many people will have a better life! How can you help? If you are unable to come and serve with us perhaps you could give a gift to help us help others.
