Below is a list of many pantries with phone numbers you can call to see when and where you can drop off a donation in WNY the list below is the ones closer to me but if you CLICK HERE you can enter your zipcode and get a list closest to you with a map of the location.
If you CLICK HERE there is a listing of shelters most of these also need donations to provide meals some are specific in what they need for instance the Buffalo City Mission has a list HERE I will be sending some razors their way this week myself since it is on the list.
And donating doesnt stop with people go here to see a list of what the SPCA needs to care for the homeless pets they care for.
Another group of people who could really use some help as a reader mentioned is the local community colleges have students who really are trying to better their lives and trying to afford school and everything else for a list of community colleges In New York GO HERE.
