Our Story

A Mission Born from Tragedy

On May 14, 2022, a white supremacist attacked Tops Friendly Market, the only grocery store in its East Side neighborhood, in a racist mass shooting that stole ten lives.

The tragedy revealed a deeper crisis: one in five children and one in seven people in Western New York face hunger.

Through Empowering Everyday Women’s Buffalo Strong campaign, we’re fighting food insecurity with grocery deliveries, food pantries, and food distribution, turning pain into purpose (Romans 8:28).
