Hope House Ministries (HHM) is a nonprofit organization located in Port Jefferson. They provide compassionate, comprehensive and competent care for the poor, the marginal and the wounded among us.

This commitment is woven in the Gospel vision that all life is sacred and every human person is unique and has the right to be respected and protected.

They have accomplished much over the 40+ years they have been helping others with minimal financial assistance from federal, state or county agencies. They depend on the generosity of private contributions, fundraising events and corporate donations.

Hope House Ministries services people in both Nassau County and Suffolk County, offering services free of charge.

Together, their staff and volunteers have created an empowering sense of family and community that are the change agents, helping young people grow in self-discipline, critical thinking, problem solving skills and personal responsibility.

All of the services Hope House Ministries offers are FREE! This includes housing, supportive professional services, counseling, healthcare, insurance, transportation, food, clothing and opportunities for education both for both high school, college or trade school. When explained to those new to their agency, few believe it possible.

Many question how they are able to stay open. The answer is best left to the words of one of our alumni, “Hope House is truly a miracle. And that miracle is healing.”

Simply put, your contributions make this miracle happen.

The three most popular programs that HHM runs are their Hope Academy at Little Portion Friary, Montfort Therapeutic Residences and Pax Christi, their Emergency Shelter. See below for more information on each of these programs.

Canoe And Kayak Storage Rack Program Just In Time For The Summer Season Suffolk County Legislator Susan A. Berland (D-Dix Hills) and her colleagues in elected office joined with representatives from the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers and Laborers Local 66 at Blydenburgh County Park to announce the launch of the “Suffolk County Canoe and Kayak Storage Rack Pilot Program”. Together, they unveiled the first of six storage racks for canoes and kayaks which will be located at various parks and beaches across the county beginning Memorial Day. This initiative, spearheaded by Majority Leader Legislator Berland, will allow residents to rent a space to lock their kayak or canoe for the entire season, making it easier and more convenient for them to enjoy the water in our county parks and beaches. The program was unanimously approved by both the Suffolk County Parks Trustees and then the Suffolk County Legislature at the May 11th General Meeting.

The material and labor used to construct the racks were generously donated. The material by the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers and the labor by Laborers Local 66.

The program allows residents to purchase a seasonal sticker to place on their canoe or kayak. They will then be assigned a specific storage rack location and are responsible for providing their own device(s) to secure the canoe or kayak to the rack. The season will run from Memorial Day through Columbus Day and spaces will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Storage racks will be located at Blydenburgh County Park in Smithtown, Southaven County Park in Brookhaven,

Lake Ronkonkoma County Park in Lake Ronkonkoma, Timber Point Golf Course in Great River, Indian Island County Park in Riverhead and Smith Point County Park Marina in Shirley.

Permits can be purchased in-person through the Suffolk County Parks Department at the West Sayville Administration Building (200 Montauk Highway, West Sayville). Those interested in reserving a space may download the form online at https:// w w w. s u f f o l k c o u n t y n y. gov/Departments/ Parks/Doing-Business/ Seasonal-Kayak-CanoeStorage-Rentals.

For Suffolk County residents who are Green Key Card holders there is a $100 fee for a seasonal permit and a $250 fee for nonresidents.

“We are so fortunate to live in a place where we have beautiful waterways, beaches and parks,” said Legislator Susan A. Berland. “I sponsored this program to make it easier and more convenient for our residents to access and enjoy the water in our County parks and beaches. Thank you to the Suffolk Alliance of Chambers and Local Laborers 66 for their generous donations and help in getting this program up and running.

I look forward to expanding the program to more county parks and beaches in the future.

The permit application is now live so sign up soon before all of the spots are gone!”

“Suffolk County parks are a preserved natural playground that provide a safe and fun way to enjoy our region’s beautiful assets.

I applaud Legislator Berland for spearheading this exciting initiative that provides Suffolk residents with the accessibility and convenience to

CANOE AND KAYAK STORAGE RACK PROGRAM - Suffolk County Legislator Susan A.

experience the best of what our parks have to offer,” said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone.

“The “Suffolk County Canoe and Kayak Storage Rack Pilot Program” is a great way to ensure residents can enjoy the many waterways in our county by giving them a place to store their canoes and kayaks during the summer,” said Presiding Officer Rob Calarco. “I offer my sincere thanks to Majority Leader Legislator Susan A. Berland for continuously bringing innovative ideas to Suffolk County and the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers for donating the funds to make this program possible. I also

want to thank Laborers Local 66 for generously donating the time and labor to get this project moving in time for the summer season.

These public-private partnerships show what can be accomplished when we all work together to better our community.”

“As Long Islanders, accessing our waterways is key to our quality of life. These canoe and kayak racks will make it easier for families to do just that and get out on the water to enjoy all that Long Island has to offer,” stated Deputy Presiding Officer Kara Hahn. “As part of the first phase of the Suffolk County Blueway Trail,

which aims to help people access waterbased recreation near our downtowns, there is clear synergy between these two programs. Hopefully in the future we can work together to place the racks along the Blueway Trail so small businesses can benefit.”

“Laborers Local 66 members live, work and play here in Suffolk County,” stated Local 66 Business Manager Steve Flanagan. “We are taxpayers too and like all families on Long Island our members enjoy our beautiful parks as well. We are proud to provide volunteer labor to build kayak racks that improve our County park system at no cost to the

taxpayers.”

“The SCAC is pleased to work with Suffolk County and the Marine Industry Revitalization Advisory Council (MIRAC) on a publicprivate partnership by supporting the residents and boating enthusiasts by supplying the material for the kayak racks in these 6 parks. We hope that the added revenue from these racks helps maintain the beauty of our natural treasures (parks) and also helps with our water quality and enjoyment at our shorelines,” said The Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers Board CoChairs, Gina Coletti and Bob Fonti and Board Member, David Kennedy.

Go Green When Spending Time Outdoors This Summer

The great outdoors beckons people year-round, but nature is especially enticing in summer, when warm weather compels people to leave their couches and soak up some sun.

Spending time outdoors is rewarding, and it can be even more so when men and women take steps to make their outdoor recreation as eco-friendly as possible. Whether it’s choosing certain activities or taking other measures, there are various ways to go green when spending time outdoors this summer and beyond.

• Leave the car at home.

Americans and Canadians consume more gasoline per capita than any people in the world. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the United Nations, Americans consume 4.39 liters of gasoline per capita each day, while Canadians consume 3.62 liters per capita each day. In lieu of driving everywhere this summer, men and women who want to be more mindful of the environment can leave their cars home more frequently. Rather than driving the family to a nearby ice cream stand, walk or bike there instead. Run as many errands on foot or on a bicycle as possible. Walking or cycling is a great way to get some time outdoors on warm summer days, and reducing fuel consumption is an equally great way to help the planet.

POWERING THROUGH IN COPIAGUE

PSEG Long Island is proud to safely support local businesses like Reyes Deli with our energy efficiency programs. LED lighting rebates are just one of the ways we are helping thousands of businesses save energy and money every year. Just as the Copiague community counts on Reyes Deli, Long Island businesses can always rely on us.

Together, we’re powering through.

• Vacation locally. Another way to help the planet when spending time outdoors this summer is to vacation locally. People who vacation close to home typically do not fly, and that’s a significant benefit to the planet. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that aviation emissions release black carbon, nitrous oxide and sulphur oxide, which contribute to the greenhouse gas effect. And while the EIA notes that

automobiles and airplanes produce relatively similar amounts of carbon dioxide per gallon, airplanes burn considerably more fuel than cars, thanks in large part to the considerable amount of fuel planes burn on the runway. By vacationing locally, outdoor enthusiasts can reduce their reliance on airplanes, thereby reducing the effects those airplanes have on the environment.

• Embrace eco-friendly activities. Various activities, from organic gardening to planting trees to beach cleanups, provide a great way to get outdoors and help the planet at the same time. Men and women who grow their own vegetables can take solace knowing that the vegetables they’re eating each night did not require the depletion of any natural resources to go from garden to table. Signing up for

beach cleanups can prevent trash, including harmful plastics, from making its way into the world’s oceans, and such cleanups provide a great excuse to go to the beach.

• Volunteer with a local park service. The National Park Service offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to individuals who are enamored with the great outdoors and are interested in protecting their local and national parks. Such opportunities can be explored by visiting www. nps.gov/getinvolved/ volunteer.htm. Parks Canada (www.pc.gc.ca) offers similar opportunities to outdoor enthusiasts.

Outdoor enthusiasts can make their summers more rewarding by taking steps to be as eco-friendly as possible when spending time outdoors.
