FEEDMORE WNY

September Spread – BNAR is having a peanut butter drive. Since peanut butter is among the most needed items and is non-perishable, this will be the focus of our barrel appeal for FeedMore WNY. Hunger is a huge issue in the city, suburbs, and rural areas. Approximately 142,454 individuals rely on FeedMore WNY for food assistance each year.  Stopping by the BNAR for class, purchase a key box or something from our store?  Bring a jar of peanut butter!
