UPDATE: The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) is in the critical final days of its holiday food drive, aimed at supporting families in need this Christmas season. Launched ahead of Thanksgiving, this initiative is a partnership with FeedMore WNY, and has already begun making a significant impact in the community.
As of today, collection bins are available at various NFTA locations throughout Buffalo, NY, including key transit hubs. The food drive is specifically focused on gathering non-perishable food items, such as canned goods and pasta, to ensure local families have enough to eat during the festive period.
The urgency is palpable as the drive wraps up just before Christmas. With only a few days left, NFTA officials are urging the public to contribute generously. Every donation counts, and your support can help alleviate hunger in our community.
“We encourage everyone to drop off any non-perishable items they can spare. This is a crucial time for families who may be struggling,” said a representative from NFTA.
The need for food assistance is heightened during the holidays, and FeedMore WNY reports an increase in demand for food support. The organization has been working tirelessly to ensure that no family goes hungry this season.
WHAT TO DO: If you want to help, please visit one of the NFTA collection sites before December 25, 2023. Locations include major bus and train stations, making it convenient for commuters and residents alike to participate.
IMPACT: Your contribution not only helps provide meals but also brings hope and joy to those who are facing food insecurity during what should be a joyous time of year. Together, we can make a difference.
NEXT STEPS: After the food drive concludes, NFTA will work closely with FeedMore WNY to distribute the collected items to families in need. Stay tuned for updates on the total amount collected and the impact made on the community.
This is a call to action for everyone in the Buffalo area: consider donating today and share this information widely to encourage others to join this essential effort. Every moment counts, and together, we can spread the spirit of giving this holiday season.
