Nutritious food access is at the heart of our mission at FeedMore WNY. On #WorldFoodDay today, we want to thank all of the donors, volunteers and community partners who help us alleviate food insecurity throughout Western New York. FeedMore WNY believes that to solve hunger, we must acknowledge that the struggle against hunger, poverty, injustice, and hopelessness are one and the same. We envision a future in which all are treated with dignity, food access and equity are recognized as human rights, and every person is empowered to have hope and thrive.
