FeedMore WNY continues the longstanding mission of offering dignity, hope and a brighter future by providing nutritious food, friendship and skills training to its Western New York neighbors in need. Through our food bank distribution center and partner hunger-relief agencies, as well as our home-delivered meal program and other targeted feeding programs, FeedMore WNY alleviates hunger and assists community members of all ages throughout Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties.

Cans for Candy will be held at the William-Emslie YMCA, located at 585 William Street in Buffalo from 6 pm to 8 pm on Halloween. We'll have plenty of candy provided by all our community sponsors. Cans for Candy give parents peace of mind - your children will be able to trick or treat in a safe, indoor, well-lit building.
