Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. 🕊️

In Rochester, we’ve seen the devastating impact fentanyl has on our friends, families, and neighbors. At Hope Dealers BTC, we believe that education and compassion are the strongest tools we have to fight back.

Fentanyl doesn't discriminate, but neither does hope. As an all-volunteer organization, we are on the streets every week providing Narcan, education, and a Bridge to Change for those struggling with substance use disorder.

How you can help today:

1. Learn the Signs: Know what an overdose looks like.

2. Carry Narcan: It’s a life-saver that anyone can use.

3. Spread Hope: Share this post to let someone know they aren't alone.

Need help or resources? Call our Hopeline at 585-633-8690. 📞

Together, we can deal hope and save lives. 🧡

Sometimes, a bridge to change starts with a simple sandwich. 🥪✨
At Hope Dealers BTC, we are an all-volunteer organization. This means every single meal provided to our neighbors in Rochester is made possible by people like YOU. We are looking for compassionate individuals to help prepare lunches for our street outreach.
By giving just a few hours of your time, you are doing more than making a meal—you are dealing hope and offering dignity to those facing substance use disorder, mental health challenges, or poverty. We provide the supplies; you provide the heart! ❤️

🎉 As we welcome this New Year, let's extend our hands to those navigating recovery and dealing with substance-use disorder. 🎊

New Year's Eve often revolves around traditional drinking and drug consumption, and for those in recovery, this day may bring unique challenges.
🎆🌟
Let's unite to offer encouragement, empathy, and assistance to those on their recovery journey. Whether it's lending a compassionate ear, organizing sober gatherings, or simply being present for someone in need, every gesture matters.
🎆🌟
At the very least, we ask you to please make sure that you never bully, pressure, coerce, convince, bribe, or even overly encourage someone else to consume drugs or alcohol. This can happen inadvertently, even if you don't mean to. You may think that you're just trying to include them in the fun, when in reality, you may be testing them in ways they're not ready to withstand.
🎆🌟
If you're having a party, make sure that you offer non-alcoholic beverage options and have plenty of water on hand. Excessive drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning, but being well-hydrated can help reduce the risk of over-consumption.
🎆🌟
Let's make this New Year's Eve a time of reflection, growth, and renewed commitment to aiding one another. Together, we can foster an environment where everyone feels supported and empowered.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful New Year's Eve!

In the days leading up to Hopesgiving, Rochester lost a monumental force for change: Sister Grace Miller. The grief is profound, but her mission—to treat every person with unconditional love and ensure they have a pathway to essential resources and housing support—lit up our event on Sunday.

Yesterday, the spirit of Sister Grace was palpable. Every hot meal served, every resource connection made, and every warm conversation at our Hopesgiving Meals & Bridge to Change Resource Fair was a testament to her unrelenting work. A tremendous and sincere thank you to every single volunteer who dedicated their time, every donor who provided the means, and the essential resource organizations who made up our Bridge to Change. We are the change because of you.

Our all-volunteer structure means 0% ever gets paid to personnel. Every dollar donated makes a direct impact on the population we serve, making every contribution a direct investment in her legacy of low-barrier support and resource access. Mark your calendar: On Giving Tuesday (December 2nd), every gift you make will amplify this mission.

Let’s honor her. The best way to say thank you to Sister Grace is to never stop serving.
