Passing this on... Buffalo Residents: This whole week is a Code Blue Weather Emergency, meaning that no homeless person seeking shelter can be denied. If you se...e someone on the street in need of shelter, you can call 211, give a description of the person and the location, and and an outreach team will be dispatched to assist. You don't have to do anything else but call. You don't need to approach the person, or wait for anyone to arrive. Just call 211. PLEASE pass it on See more

On frigid winter days like today, those on the streets can go to Code Blue shelters to be shielded against the harsh winter elements. We truly appreciate the ha...rd work and dedication of the shelter volunteers and outreach workers who keep our community warm and safe.

FONP does it all. Great place to volunteer your time.

Plans call for converting the former school into affordable apartments for homeless women and women with children.
