UPDATE: The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) is in the final days of its urgent holiday food drive, aiming to support families in need before Christmas. Launched ahead of Thanksgiving, this initiative in collaboration with FeedMore WNY has been actively collecting non-perishable food items, including canned goods and pasta, to assist local communities struggling during the holiday season.
As of December 15, 2023, collection bins are strategically placed at various NFTA locations across Buffalo, N.Y., making it easy for residents to contribute. This year’s campaign has already gathered thousands of pounds of food, but organizers emphasize the pressing need for more donations as Christmas approaches.
“We want to make sure no family goes hungry this holiday season,” said a spokesperson for NFTA. The partnership with FeedMore WNY is crucial, as they work tirelessly to distribute the collected items to families in need throughout the region.
Residents are encouraged to drop off their contributions at any of the designated collection points. The drive will conclude on December 20, 2023, just days before Christmas, making this an urgent call to action for community members.
“Every can counts,” the spokesperson added, highlighting the impact that even small donations can make in helping local families. This collaborative effort illustrates the power of community spirit, especially during a time when many are facing challenges.
As the deadline approaches, local businesses and organizations are stepping up their efforts, hosting events to raise awareness and encourage participation. This surge in community involvement reflects the shared commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to food during the holiday season.
Don’t miss your chance to make a difference. Join the NFTA and FeedMore WNY in this vital mission. If you’d like to donate, visit any NFTA location before December 20, 2023, and help spread the holiday cheer to those who need it most.
Stay tuned for updates as the drive progresses, and consider sharing this information to help raise awareness within your network. Together, we can bring hope and sustenance to our community this holiday season.
