Donate and feed the need
We raise and distribute money in support of non-profit organizations throughout WNY that provide sustenance to those in need. Help us give back to our WNY community!
Your gift demonstrates the power of collective generosity
With your help, we can help meet our community’s immediate needs while building stronger, more resilient food systems across Western New York.
How We Give Back
We build sustaining partnerships
We continue to provide ongoing support to trusted partners who make a consistent impact.
Supporting Our Partners
-
Home Beneath Our Feet
Using a nature-focused curriculum, Home Beneath Our Feet seeds the development of children, youth, and adults through artistic, physical, financial, and personal initiatives to improve quality of life in our community.
-
Buffalo Resilience
Buffalo Resilience supports communities across Western New York with community care and harm reduction initiatives that they achieve through mutual aid and addiction outreach efforts.
We introduced The Love Machine
In 2025, we launched our newest initiative: The Love Machine. Designed to make charitable giving easy, engaging, and accessible, The Love Machine operates like a traditional snack vending machine. But instead of chips or candy, it dispenses donation tiles that each represent one of 24 Western New York nonprofits. Using the touchscreen, donors can select one or multiple tiles and complete their purchase with a credit card or Apple Pay. Each nonprofit sets the donation amount of their own tile based on their specific needs.
