Contactless Food Drive - Hosted by Dunkirk City School Board
2020-06-13 09:00 - 12:00
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.

The #BuffaloStrong campaign has provided thousands of meals for families in need of extra help since the start of the COVID-19 crisis. We’re so appreciative of all those who came together to help our neighbors in need – organizing food drives, making donations, taking part in a virtual 7K, and volunteering their time. But even as community members return back to work, many Western New Yorkers will continue to experience financial hardship and food insecurity for months to come.

In collaboration with 7 Eyewitness News WKBW and Retro Buffalo, this Day of Giving will help us provide nutritious food to vulnerable children, families, and older community members during these challenging times.

We’ll be hosting two contactless food drives on July 7, 2020:

9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Dash’s Market on Hertel Avenue (1770 Hertel Ave #3002, Buffalo, NY)
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Erie County Fairgrounds – South Park Entrance (5820 South Park Avenue, Hamburg, NY)

You also can support our vital programs and services by making a donation online! With your support, FeedMore WNY can continue to provide more food and more good to our WNY neighbors in need.
