Above, a conceptual rendering shows the new headquarters for FeedMore WNY.
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 has reached nearly two-thirds of its fundraising goal to establish a permanent home for the organization and build brighter futures for Western New Yorkers of all ages experiencing food insecurity and joblessness.
With this milestone reached, FeedMore WNY is kicking off the public phase of its campaign and inviting the community to participate in this critical project. Delaware North CEO Lou Jacobs is co-chairing the campaign with community volunteer Ann McCarthy, and Delaware North is donating $1 million to demonstrate the Western New York business community’s commitment to the project.
Delaware North will raise awareness and funds for FeedMore WNY’s capital campaign at its Western New York locations with the launch of its signature cocktail – the 716 Spritz.
During the month of October, $1 from every 716 Spritz sold will be donated to FeedMore WNY’s capital campaign, and customers will be able to scan QR codes at Delaware North locations to learn more about the campaign and make direct donations.
Locations where the 716 Spritz will be available include KeyBank Center, Highmark Stadium, the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, Hamburg Gaming and Patina 250.

FeedMore WNY’s RISE program has graduated 11 additional students following their completion of the 10-week job training session.
A ceremony to commemorate the Cohort 11 graduates was held Sept. 18.
RISE is an acronym for Readying Individuals for Success and Employment. The program provides free job training for economically disadvantaged adults.
Additionally, the program gives graduates the skills, experience, opportunities and a network of partners to help our neighbors obtain gainful employment and achieve financial self-sufficiency.
View the above video to watch some of our RISE graduates talk about what the program means to them and what they plan to do next!
FeedMore WNY’s mission is to offer dignity, hope and a brighter future by providing nutritious food, friendship and skills training to our Western New York neighbors in need.
FeedMore WNY believes that to solve hunger, we must acknowledge that the struggle against hunger, poverty, injustice, and hopelessness are one and the same. We envision a future in which all are treated with dignity, food access and equity are recognized as human rights, and every person is empowered to have hope and thrive.
