Signature fundraiser features tastings, live music, chef demo, and more
The time has come, once again, to indulge in a world of sweet delights, while supporting one of Buffalo’s most heralded non-profits. We should all know by this time, the positive contributions that FeedMore WNY has put forth in this city. The organization provides nutritious food and support to food insecure community members of all ages throughout Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties. It should be duly noted that in 2023, FeedMore WNY provided enough food for approximately 16.9 million meals throughout its service area!
“Food insecurity exists in every community throughout our four-county service area. Unfortunately, the need for food assistance only continues to grow, especially among some of our most vulnerable neighbors. Last year, the number of children who rely on FeedMore WNY increased nearly 20 percent, while the number of older adults who receive assistance from FeedMore rose by 35 percent,” said Tara A. Ellis, president and CEO of FeedMore WNY. “The Sweet Expectations fundraiser is so important because it enables us to continue our vital programs and services. We hope everyone is able to attend this event to enjoy an evening of food and festivities while supporting our community members in need.”
