Feeding In The Midst | Changing Lives One Meal at a Time A Buffalo, NY nonprofit providing immediate food relief and long-term food security across Western New York since 2016.

10 YEARS. 💛✨

What a night.

Our Feeding In The Midst 10-Year Anniversary celebration was filled with love, laughter, powerful words, beautiful people and so many reminders of why this mission exists.

To our board, speakers, volunteers, supporters, donors, family, friends and everyone who showed up for us — thank you. This wasn’t just a celebration of where we’ve been. It was the beginning of where we’re going next. 10 years down. The next chapter begins.

🎒💙 HUGE SHOUTOUT TO RUSS AND PANCHO’S ARMY! 💙🎒

We are incredibly grateful to Pancho’s Army and Russ for donating 80 book bags filled with school supplies to support our Back-to-School initiative connected to Feeding In The Midst’s 10-Year Anniversary Gala.

This is what community partnership looks like.

Because of their generosity, 80 children will have one less thing to worry about as they head into the school year — and that means a lot to us.

Thank you for believing in the mission, supporting our kids, and helping us continue showing up for families across our community.

80 book bags. 80 children supported. One incredible act of generosity. 💙

We appreciate you more than you know.

September 12 is getting closer, and Feeding In The Midst is preparing for a very special night. 💙

We’re celebrating 10 years of service while also launching our 100 Backpack Challenge to help local students start the school year strong. Feeding In The Midst is committing the first 55 fully stocked backpacks, and we’re inviting businesses, organizations and community members to help us reach 100.

We’re also entering a new chapter behind the scenes — our website is currently being professionally redesigned to better showcase our mission, events, volunteer opportunities, sponsorships, partnerships and ways to get involved.

Feeding In The Midst was never built because everything was easy. It was built because people needed us.

For almost a decade, we’ve shown up however we could — borrowed spaces, donated supplies, volunteers giving what they had, and somehow making it work.

This post is a reminder that community work has seasons.

Right now we’re in a season where we’re rebuilding, rethinking, and asking for support in ways we haven’t before. We are in a season of growth.

If you’ve volunteered, donated, shared a post, encouraged us, partnered with us, or simply believed in what we’re doing — thank you.

And if you’ve been watching from the sidelines wondering if your help matters:

It does.

We’re still here.
We’re still serving.
And we’re not done yet ❤️

We are looking for 15-20 volunteers for an upcoming event. Message us for me info!

If you’d like to support what we’re building, donations are helping us move toward a permanent space and continue serving families across WNY ❤️

We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the University at Buffalo Neurosurgery Department and Amy Miller for their generosity and support toward Feeding In The Midst. 💛

Each month, they select an organization to raise donations for, and we are truly honored to have been chosen. Your kindness and willingness to support our mission means more than words can express.

Because of support like this, we’re able to continue serving families and individuals throughout our community.

Thank you again for believing in what we do and helping us make a difference right here in Buffalo. 🫶

Right now, a lot of families are carrying more than people realize.

Rent is high. Groceries are higher. Childcare, gas, bills, and everyday life are stretching people thin. Many are working hard every single day and still trying to figure out how to make it all come together.
Mentally, emotionally, and financially… life has been heavy for so many in our community.

That’s why kindness matters right now.
Patience matters.
Community matters.

At Feeding In The Midst, we see firsthand that hunger doesn’t always “look” the way people expect it to. Sometimes it’s the parent skipping meals so their child can eat. Sometimes it’s someone silently struggling while trying to hold everything together.

So today, give people grace. Check on one another. Support where you can.

And if you’re struggling — please know you are not alone. 💛
