    Meals of Hope 💛 Groceries Shared with Love

    2334 Lockport Rd, Sanborn · verified Sep 27
    See details

    Rising costs and unexpected bills can strain any household budget. Meals of Hope offers a welcoming grocery selection to help individuals and families stretch food dollars during financially stressful times. Shoppers choose from pantry staples along with a rotating mix of refrigerated and frozen items donated by local grocery stores and restaurants. Quantities are based on household size, and to share resources widely the program asks households to limit visits to twice per month while donations remain limited. First-time visitors complete a brief intake form, and no proof of income is required. The program serves residents of Niagara County and the City of Tonawanda, and anyone who needs food will be assisted. Remember to bring reusable bags. Friendly volunteers are available to help select items, bag groceries, and carry them to your vehicle. The Hope Closet clothing program will also be open during this event, so both services can be visited in one trip. Meals of Hope is a community outreach program of The Gathering Place Project.
