Community Impact in Niagara 2nd Chance Services, Inc.
We were proud to sponsor and partner with The Salvation Army for their final community cookout of the season. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such a great and meaningful event! Together, we provided food, a community food giveaway, cancer screening referrals, education, awareness, and the importance of early‑detection support to our neighbors.

We extend our gratitude to National Fuel for joining us, and a very special thank‑you to Teresa Pugh, whose courage and testimony inspired many and brought more people to our table for life‑saving resources. We also recognize the Roswell CARES Impact Grant team, whose support made this outreach possible.

Community health starts with us, and together, we are making a difference.

Let’s spread awareness … A crisis can happen to anyone – it does not discriminate or choose certain people. It occurs when usual coping skills are no longer enough to manage a situation, and it can arise at any time, in any place. Recognizing the warning signs of a crisis is essential and knowing how to respond is just as important. At Community Health Center of Buffalo, Inc., we are here to support you in identifying those warning signs, strengthening your coping skills, and creating a clear plan for who you can call and where you can go when you need help. Call 716-986-9199 to schedule a time to talk with one of our counselors.

If you or someone you know is in a crisis, call 988 for free 24/7 support.
