Description

Drive-thru food distribution to food insecure individuals

Distribution of food that maintains social distancing guidelines occurs through a no contact drive-thru system.  This is a fast paced outdoor physical activity. All volunteers must be able to stand for 2-3 hours, lift bags of groceries 10-20 lbs, and don't mind working outside in Buffalo's every changing weather.       

Our volunteers have been working this drive-thru system since COVID began in March and we sure could use a few extra hands alongside of us on a temporary or permanent basis.   

Nightly cleaning and sanitizing of the food pantry equipment and work areas along with required masks, social distancing, and hand sanitation stations have been implemented.

Inclement Weather Plan: Almost 1300 households rely on us monthly to provide them with emergency food. Due to COVID we have had to move our operations to an outdoor drive-thru system. Weather conditions do not alter our distribution times unless roads are closed due to weather conditions. Families dealing with food insecurity rely on us no matter what weather conditions Buffalo throws at us. So...bundle up and meet us outside no matter what the weather forecast is. All closings are posted on local news stations; 2, 4, 7, and WBEN
