Due to a rapid increase in food insecurity among Western New York residents, current FeedMore WNY facilities are operating beyond their capacity to meet the service needs of the region.
To continue expanding regional food programs and providing its current services, FeedMore WNY will build a 197,700 square-foot facility to centralize its regional operations on a 74-acre site in the Town of Hamburg.
After reaching nearly two-thirds of its fundraising goal to establish a permanent home for the organization, FeedMore WNY is kicking off the public phase of its campaign and inviting the community to participate in this critical project.

FeedMore WNY’s free workforce development program, Readying Individuals for Success and Employment (RISE) welcomes people facing high barriers to employment and empowers them with the skills needed to thrive in a career in warehousing and logistics.
One of the keys to the success of the RISE program is the wraparound services offered, including nutritious food access, transportation assistance, and childcare.
Recently, FeedMore WNY team members also determined the need for a Personal Care Pantry to offer to RISE students and graduates.
Thanks to a $20,000 grant from Five Star Bank, FeedMore WNY was able to launch and sustain the RISE Personal Care Pantry, which is stocked with shampoo, soap, dental hygiene products, laundry detergent and a selection of other personal care items.
More information about RISE is available by clicking here.
Further details about the Personal Care Pantry are available by viewing the video clip, or by clicking the button below!
