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, 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.
Food insecurity is a growing concern across Western New York, FeedMore WNY has seen an alarming 16 percent increase in individuals seeking food assistance in 2024. 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
April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month, a time to recognize our incredible volunteers. We want to celebrate the incredible individuals who give their time, energy, and are dedicated to making a difference. At FeedMore WNY, our volunteers are the backbone of our mission to fight hunger. Each day, our volunteers pack and sort food in our warehouse, distribute meals to our homebound neighbors, help at our pantries, assist with our special events, and more! Their dedication ensures that our neighbors in need receive the resources they need to thrive.
