Ways to give back
Our grieving community has been shaken to its core by the horror of what occurred in our city. Now is the time to love each other and be the City of Good Neighbors.
Dent Neurologic Institute will be partnering with Buffalo Center for Health Equities. This program is helping victims’ families, as well as the community overall, including food resources through the church. The money directly goes to those in need.
