Gun Hotline For Teens

Nike's For Handguns

ALBANY, NY (07/22/2025) (readMedia)-- New Hotline in Albany for teens to turn in illegal handguns.

After a surge of teen shootings and gun violence in Albany NY Pastor Charlie of Victory Church will spend the remaining summer months engaging with city teens. After a busy Monday giving out new Nike's and connecting with city teens the reception was engaging. With over 13 years experience in taking illegal handguns off the streets the first day was a huge success. The hotline phone is 518-857-0726 with no real partner at this time Pastor Charlie will rely on new partners to accomplish this ongoing task.

Through the years Pastor Charlie has worked with troubled teens in 3 local group homes for teenagers.

Pastor Charlie has worked with DA David Soares through the years and has never seen anyone invest in city youth like he has.

Now Pastor will rely on caring church members to help support this new mission.

Teens will receive new Nike sneakers and cash gift cards for every illegal handgun turned over. The hotline at 518-434-6100 will be posted throughout the city.
