We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of our founders, Ed Hill.

Thousands upon thousands of our neighbors have been fed because of Ed's kindness, hard work, and dedication to the WNY community.

Our thoughts are with Ed's family, friends, and everyone whose life he touched. We at the Kenmore/North Buffalo Food Pantry are grateful for the opportunity to carry his vision forward and honor his remarkable legacy.

Rest in peace, Ed.
