Buffalo City Mission

🎄 Volunteer Registration is now OPEN for Hambone Express! 🎄 This Christmas, with generous support from Wegmans, we will deliver 4,000 holiday meals to individuals and families in need. And we can’t do it without YOU! Volunteers help package and deliver meals on Christmas morning using pre-planned routes. You can brighten someone’s day by delivering meals or helping onsite. It’s a meaningful way to give back and a wonderful opportunity for families to volunteer together. ❤️ ✨ Sign up today and help make this Christmas special for thousands in our community! ✨ https://lnkd.in/gFnq4JcR

Yesterday the Buffalo City Mission felt a little brighter thanks to the volunteer team from ALKEGEN. They showed up ready to work and didn’t waste a minute. Cabinets went up. Racks took shape. Sandwiches were assembled with care. And by nightfall, those sandwiches were already in the hands of men and women coming in from the cold for Code Blue. What Alkegen brought wasn’t just tools or time. They brought heart. They brought a spirit of “we’re in this together.” And that spirit reaches far beyond our building. When companies choose service as part of who they are, the whole community feels it. Thank you, Alkegen, for reminding us what corporate compassion looks like in action.

We are honored to be named the lead agency for this season’s Code Blue initiative, announced today by the Western New York Coalition for the Homeless' Code Blue Collaborative. Code Blue provides emergency shelter and support for anyone experiencing homelessness when temperatures or wind chills fall below 32°F. We are committed to ensuring no one is left out in the cold this winter. https://lnkd.in/emCgMVx7

Buffalo Business First recently sat down with our new CEO, Mark Jentsch, for an insightful interview about his vision for the Mission and the work ahead. Mark’s heart for this community and his commitment to strengthening our impact are already evident. We are proud to share this article and the meaningful direction we’re moving in together. https://lnkd.in/g_tD6j5n #BuffaloCityMission #Community #Leadership #BuffaloBusinessFirst

What a morning, Sabres fans! 🏒 "Turkeys for Tickets" was a success thanks to an incredible team effort! The Buffalo Sabres, Tops Markets, FeedMore WNY, Audacy, Inc. and the Buffalo City Mission joined forces to collect turkeys for families in need this Thanksgiving. Your generosity means we are on track to serve over 500 hot meals in-house and deliver an additional 5,500 meals across WNY on Thanksgiving! A huge thank you to everyone who came out and donated—you are providing meals and hope to countless neighbors. The need continues to grow, but so does the compassion of Western New York. Together, we're making sure no table is left empty. #BuffaloCityMission #FeedMoreWNY #BuffaloSabres #TopsFriendlyMarkets #TurkeysForTickets

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage and sacrifice. At the Buffalo City Mission, we are proud to walk alongside our heroes—many of whom have faced incredible challenges after their service, including homelessness. Through our Veterans Program, we provide dedicated veteran-specific dorms, case management, and supportive services designed to help veterans rebuild their lives with dignity and stability. Every day, we see their strength, resilience, and leadership shine as they work toward new beginnings. A heartfelt thank you to Northwest Bank for coming in to serve a special Veterans Day lunch for our residents and community. Your generosity helped make this day of gratitude even more meaningful. To all our veterans—we thank you for your service, your strength, and your continued impact in our community. ❤️🤍💙 #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #BuffaloCityMission #NorthwestBank

Due to the current hold on SNAP benefits, the Buffalo City Mission, located at 100 East Tupper, has added additional temporary weekly food pantry times to our normal pantry hours to help address the growing need in WNY. We understand how difficult this time is for many of our neighbors, and we’re here to help ensure access to food and support. Please note: Availability of items varies based on donations. These are temporary additional hours to address the current need in WNY. Once SNAP benefits resume, these hours will no longer be available.
