FeedMore WNY

Contactless Food Drive - Hosted by Dunkirk City School Board
2020-06-13 09:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | NY
The Dunkirk City School Board is issuing a challenge to the community to support a “Contactless” Food Drive for FeedMore WNY on Saturday, June 13, 2020, at the Dunkirk High School (75 W 6th St, Dunkirk, NY 14048), from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. FeedMore WNY’s is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to offer dignity, hope and a brighter future by providing nutritious food, friendship and skills training to community members in need throughout Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Niagara counties.
Today, with COVID-19 and its impact on the community, there is even more of a need. FeedMore WNY provides food to many local agencies including the Salvation Army, Chautauqua County Rural Ministry, St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton Food Closet, and our own Marauder Market. The Marauder Market is the first school-based pantry program in Chautauqua County. It provides Dunkirk City School District’s students access to nutritious food that can be shared with others in their household.
The City of Dunkirk School Board is requesting the community’s support with food and/or financial support on June 13th. The most needed food items at this time include canned fruits, canned vegetables, and shelf-stable proteins (peanut butter, canned fish or chicken). Anyone wishing to make a financial donation should have checks made payable to “FeedMore WNY Foundation”. Every donation will help FeedMore WNY continue to provide nutritious food to hungry children, families, veterans and aging community members.
For more information please visit the district website at Dunkirkcsd.org, the district Facebook page, or call the district Administrative Offices at 366-9300.

Quarantine Stories by Post-Industrial Productions (virtual event benefiting FeedMore WNY)
2020-05-29 19:30 - 21:00 | NY
Post-Industrial Productions is proud to introduce Quarantine Stories, a virtual evening of new spoken word stories, poems, or monologues created by the Western New York community and curated by the Post-Industrial Productions team. Drawing upon both personal and community experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, Quarantine Stories invites anyone in WNY to express their thoughts, feelings, frustrations, and struggles through the submission of a 2-4 minute “story” (roughly 500 word limit) that comments upon this challenging time. These “stories” will then be performed by local actors for a virtual audience, both to ensure privacy for anonymous entries and to establish a degree of separation for potentially traumatic experiences.
Quarantine Stories seeks to give a voice to people who are suffering due to social distancing/quarantine orders, and to foster a sense of solidarity during this time of isolation by helping people understand they are not suffering alone Each livestream event will help bring awareness to a WNY nonprofit or charity helping our community during this time. A donation button will be placed prominently in the viewing window during the event, and audience members will be encouraged to make a donation to benefit the participating organization.
The inaugural Quarantine Stories event will take place on Friday, May 29th at 7:30pm on Facebook Live, with all proceeds raised to benefit FeedMore WNY.
