Catholic Charities South Buffalo - Wellsville Food Pantry & Outreach

Catholic Charities of Buffalo helps people of all ages, races, faiths and walks of life everyday throughout Western New York in a multitude of ways. Our goal is to provide hope for all seasons of life. We strive to empower individuals, families, children and couples to live healthy and meaningful lives. It's what we want for those who help us (our volunteers and donors), it's what we want for our employees, and it's certainly what we want for you - hope for wholeness and health.
