BUFFALO, N.Y. — Employees at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center paid it forward today with a big donation to FeedMore Western New York.
They wanted to thank and give back to the community for the countless donations of food and personal protective equipment they've gotten during the pandemic.
Their goal was to raise at least $3,500 in two weeks. It took just two days to hit that mark, and in the end, they raised $11,000.
"Thanks to the support of the generous community, we are able to provide more nutritious food to our food pantries through our four county service area. We are able to produce and hold mobile food pantries in our four county service area and underserved communities," Catherine Shick of FeedMore WNY said.
Feedmore WNY typically serves about 135,000 community members each year, but recently the organization has heard from thousands more who need assistance.
