About Us

The Buffalo Food Shelf is a Christian, non-profit, community-based organization serving individuals and families that receive limited financial assistance or are going through a crisis and need help feeding their family. 

In this season of giving thanks and praise, we'd like to extend our sincere appreciation for your continued support through volunteerism as well as financial and food contributions. Through your generosity, we continue to support an ever growing number of families in need of hunger relief.  The number of families and individuals that need our help continues to grow exponentially each year.

On behalf of the Buffalo Food Shelf families, we want to THANK YOU for your continued support.  It is through your generosity and the grace of God that we can continue in our mission to feed the hungry in our community.

The Food Shelf is an equal opportunity provider and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age of disability.

Respectfully,

The Buffalo Food Shelf Council
