GIVE 716 is almost here—and your donation can help us continue changing lives across Erie and Niagara Counties.

Early giving begins at 7:16 PM on July 15, with the main day of giving taking place July 16, 2026. This is your opportunity to support a local, peer-led organization that meets people where they are and provides real help when it is needed most.

Your donation helps provide:

🏠 Housing navigation and stabilization
🍎 Food and nutritional support
🚗 Transportation to essential services
🤝 Recovery and reentry assistance
🧼 Clothing and hygiene supplies
❤️ Crisis intervention and peer support

We are not simply funding programs. We are helping neighbors find housing, reach treatment, access food, rebuild after incarceration and discover hope during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

And this year, GIVE 716 donors may also qualify for special incentives, including limited-edition T-shirts, Bills and Sabres tickets, autographed jerseys and other prizes during designated giving hours—while supplies last!

Every dollar makes a difference. Every donation changes a life.
