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.

The concept is both heartwarming and effective. Local artists and community members donate handmade pottery bowls for fundraising events. Attendees purchase a bowl or bowls to keep and enjoy a modest meal, symbolizing the empty bowls many face due to food insecurity. This past November, Empty Bowls was able to raise $21,500 to support our programs at this fundraiser!

Resurgence Brewing Company and Delaware North have unveiled Snow Problemo, a new beer available exclusively at Buffalo Niagara International Airport from November 25, 2024, through March 20, 2025. A portion of proceeds from every pint will benefit FeedMore WNY’s Blizzard Boxes program!
These boxes are full of nonperishable food items, water, and shelf-stable milk. We also deploy these emergency food kits to area police and fire stations, as well as other nonprofits, to help our community in times of need.
Last year, FeedMore WNY distributed nearly 1,000 emergency food kits to assist Western New Yorkers.
