FeedMore WNY will bring aspects of its mission to the forefront of “Party at the Pier” this year, as many of the dishes will be either prepped or plated by Hearty Helpings team members, who prepare FeedMore’s home-delivered and community dining meals, and by students of FeedMore’s RISE Culinary and Food Manufacturing free workforce development program.

Last year, nearly 166,000 Western New Yorkers relied on FeedMore WNY for nutritious food and support – a 16% increase from the prior year. Events like “Party at the Pier” enable FeedMore WNY to continue its vital programs, including its food bank distribution network serving four counties, its home-delivered meal services offering food and friendship to homebound neighbors, and its free workforce development program providing lifechanging opportunities to people with high barriers to employment.

FeedMore WNY offers dignity, hope and a brighter future by providing nutritious food, friendship and skills training to its Western New York neighbors in need. Through its food bank distribution center and partner hunger-relief agencies, as well as its home-delivered meal program, other targeted feeding programs and RISE workforce development training, FeedMore WNY alleviates hunger and assists community members of all ages throughout Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties.
