Solidarity, not charity: A comprehensive guide to food access and mutual aid in Buffalo.

When systemic safety nets fall short, the community steps in. Building real neighborhood power begins with ensuring our neighbors have their basic material needs met. Whether it is finding a safe place during a winter freeze or accessing fresh groceries for the week, mutual aid functions as the lifeblood of a resilient city.
We compiled a wide-ranging directory of food access and emergency resources directly into The Rising Tide Fellowship Linktree. This list connects you to the Buffalo Community Fridges, local neighborhood pantries, FeedMore WNY, SNAP resources, and emergency Code Blue shelters.
Experiencing food insecurity or needing a warm place to stay is a structural failure of the current economy, not a personal flaw. Mutual aid is about neighbors helping neighbors survive an extractive system.
If you or someone you know is looking for support, or if you are an organizer looking for local initiatives to plug into and help distribute resources, you can find the direct links in our digital headquarters.

#ICE out now! If you live in the western new york region, time to learn from our siblings across the great lakes and fight back! We are very sprawled out here so a key lesson we can take is hyper local decentralized organizing. If you don't want to actually talk to your neighbors, you can still walk around with a whistle and have BIRDwatch ready in your signal contacts: https://linktr.ee/BIRDwatch
