Scrabbler was talking yesterday about how this horrible shooting in Buffalo in addition to traumatizing the community has made it hard to get food, since the supermarket where it occurred is the only one in the area and is now closed. I asked about how I could help and Scrabbler pointed me to a group called "Feed More WNY"

11:58 am

joym999

I contributed here: https://www.feedmorewny.org/?fbclid=Iw\nAR31YCnlKp9FFr3HP20nZfToTDEkKUkSf0HXM_\nyXK4OrnC6UYrdUdUVNvZk
