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.

We currently serve about 165,722 people across Erie, Niagara, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. Among those served, nearly 53,400 were children, and over 41,200 were older adults, highlighting the widespread need.
While FeedMore WNY continues to work tirelessly to meet the growing need, it is clear that ongoing community support is essential. As Western New York battles food insecurity, collective action can help ensure that no one goes hungry.
Those who wish to help can contribute in several ways:
-Donating
-Volunteering
-Supporting Feeding NYS petition to Fully Fund Hunger Relief
FeedMore WNY, in partnership with Feeding New York State, has been diligently working to set 2025 budget priorities to combat food insecurity across the state. We need your support to reach our goal of 700 signatures on our petition urging Governor Hochul and NYS legislators to Fully Fund Hunger Relief.
FeedMore WNY’s construction crews began putting steel in ground for our organization’s new unified campus in Hamburg on February 4th. Truckloads of steel have been arriving over the past several days. The first installation of steel is to erect what will be the commissary for the new building. This milestone is a significant step toward a bigger and more sufficient campus to help us feed our neighbors in need.
