Ben Harper
We lost a remarkable member of the EOC of Suffolk family and the Bellport community.
Ben Harperโs legacy lives on in the youth he empowered, the neighbors he uplifted, and the countless people who were fortunate enough to call him a friend. He showed us what it means to lead with compassion, integrity, and service. Ben was a mentor, a leader, and a steady source of encouragement. He will be greatly missed.

Held at Dominican Village in Amityville, this yearโs gathering was the largest to date, bringing together faith leaders, advocates, community members, and individuals who shared powerful lived experiences with HIV.
The evening reflected the spirit of the National Week of Prayer movement founded by The Balm in Gilead โ combining education, compassion, faith, and community dialogue to address HIV/AIDS while supporting healing and understanding.
From moving personal stories to music and fellowship, the event reminded everyone that when communities come together with empathy and purpose, healing and hope grow stronger. โค๏ธ
