Thank you to M&T Bank for donating kindness kits to Westminster Community Charter School!

We are proud to announce that our 7th grader, Jada, is the recipient of the Holocaust Education Resource Organization (HERO) 2026 Abek Student Upstander Award from the Buffalo Jewish Federation!

The Abek Student Upstander Award is named in memory of Abek, friend of Holocaust Survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein. Abek displayed the qualities of kindness, generosity, sacrifice, and bravery under the most difficult circumstances during the Holocaust to help his friend Gerda Weissman Klein survive.

This prestigious award is presented to a young adult in our community who is brave and courageous and chooses to defend what is just when others choose to be bystanders. Jada was selected as this year’s recipient of the Student Upstander Award because of her bravery for taking a stand against injustice, bullying or discrimination, even when it’s not popular to do so.

Jada is a testament to the high standards of education and achievement at Westminster. Through a commitment to academic rigor, character development, and meaningful opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, Westminster develops students who are confident, capable, and prepared to lead.

Congratulations Jada!🌟🎉

Buffalo Promise Neighborhood was proud to host a second event during M&T Bank’s Community Impact Week at The Children’s Academy and Westminster Community Charter School!

Volunteers came on-site to help littles at The Children’s Academy decorate pots and plant flowers inside of them to take home. They also planted hostas at the front of the building! At Westminster, volunteers worked to clean up the garden beds, trim shrubs, pull weeds, and lay down a fresh layer of mulch.

Thank you to all our M&T volunteers who made this event a success!🌟🪴🪏🌱💚

Western New York Community Impact Week was created by M&T employees to sustain the outpouring of generosity and service that Buffalo experienced after the devastating mass shooting on May 14, 2022 at Tops Friendly Markets.

During this biannual initiative, held every spring and fall, thousands of M&T employees serve as volunteers, working together with local nonprofits to meet emerging needs and support solutions to longstanding challenges. Since its founding in 2022, about 9,000 M&T employees have participated in WNY Community Impact Week, providing over 17,000 volunteer hours for local projects.

Buffalo Promise Neighborhood was proud to participate in M&T Bank’s Community Impact Week through a hands-on financial literacy workshop for 10 seventh-grade students from Westminster Community Charter School!

Students had the opportunity to visit M&T Bank’s historic Fountain Plaza branch and its offices at M&T Center in downtown Buffalo, where they received a behind-the-scenes tour of the bank and learned financial literacy fundamentals like basic budgeting, understanding checking and savings, financial decision-making, and building credit.
