Review for Helping Hands Rescue Mission Inc., Huntingtn Sta, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have volunteered over the past 5 years at the Helping Hands Rescue Mission. I can’t say enough good things about Kim Gaines Gambino and the Mission! Each week they serve approximately 200 families by providing a hot meal, food, and a community closet. They go out of their way to help anyone in need.
Special outreaches include a Monthly Baby Blessings where mothers receive a hot breakfast and shop for free! Best First Day Ever provides backpacks filled with the exact age appropriate school supplies each child K-12 needs. This year that was 1500! Thanksgiving boxes with all the food needed for a Thanksgiving feast including a turkey are distributed each November. At the annual Christmas party, families come and receive gifts for their children. For most, this is the only Christmas gift they will receive! Easter baskets are also provided each Spring. An annual coat and warm clothing drive is held each fall.
These are just some of the many events I have helped with. Kim and staff are always there to help and pray with families in need. Kim’s faith is inspirational and their philosophy is God will provide! And He always does!!
