Our mission

Immediate relief today. Real food security tomorrow.

Feeding In The Midst exists to meet people where they are. We provide food, essential resources and community-based programs to children, families and individuals throughout Western New York—while building partnerships that create stronger, healthier communities.

What began in 2016 as a commitment to help neighbors facing food insecurity has grown into a decade of food distributions, Thanksgiving givebacks, youth initiatives, clothing support, school-supply outreach and community partnerships.

Who we are

Founded in 2016, built by neighbors.

Feeding In The Midst began with a simple belief: when people in our community are struggling, we show up.

Ten years later, that belief has grown into thousands of meals and snacks, community outreach events, Thanksgiving givebacks, youth programs, school-supply distributions and partnerships throughout Western New York.

We have accomplished all of it without a permanent facility of our own—and we're just getting started.
