Help Us Deliver Nutritious Meals to Our Neighbors in Need.

Buffalo Go Green, along with 13 partners from private, government and nonprofits sectors, will develop and deliver 5100 fully cooked nutritious meals by the end of 2021. Based on surveys and market research we expect in sliding increase of these meals to approximately 17,400 mid-2022.

All meals will be culturally appropriate, nutritious with ingredients sourced from local rural and urban farms and farmers and artisans of color. This allows two distinct benefits. The first, feeding those in need proper meals in order to assist in waylaying additional health disparities while, second - supporting our local farmers - urban and rural - with orders above what they would normally receive to allow for their growth and opportunity.

Further, each meal will be labelled with all ingredients, providing the recipients a view of the differences in what makes up their meal compared to the fast-food or quick meals normally consumed along with a flyer that provides information on healthy beverage choices, whole grains, healthy snacking, and fresh fruits and vegetables to waylay health disparities. At present, we are meeting with the American Heart Association for materials and recipes to add to the menu of options, making some of the meals "AHA Heart Friendly."

Some will have door-to-door deliveries while others may purchase their meals from local corner stores that have been vetted and agree to carry the initiative. And, since the meals are pre-packaged for re-heating in the home, EBT/SNAP can be used for purchases.
