Buffalo Wintermission 

Wintermission aims to increase levels of physical activity and address social isolation during the harsh winter months.  The City of Buffalo was chosen as one of the three pilot cities across the country.  The program is led by 8 80 Cities, a non-profit organization based in Toronto, Canada. Wintermission is supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Global Ideas Fund at CAF America.  

The City of Buffalo’s pilot program consisted of a series of winterbashes, distribution of weatherization kits, and small grants for community member led initiatives to engage their neighborhoods during winter.

Good Neighbors Network (GNN)

Buffalo stays true to its moniker "The City of Good Neighbors". During the COVID-19 pandemic, our members were asked to coordinate efforts between block clubs and the city’s efforts to keep each other safe and healthy.  

The initiative consists of the distribution of door hangers that have two distinct faces. One side signals that a neighbor is in distress while the other side provides essential numbers and resources within the community.  We are proud of the GNN volunteers and their dedication during this crisis.
