FOCUS AREAS
Regenerate Neighborhoods
We continue to work with others to improve the quality of life in Buffalo’s neighborhoods, including personal and community safety, food security, mental and physical health.
Current Project: We support the neighborhood in its efforts to fully restore Humboldt Parkway. We do this as a member of the East Side Parkways Coalition.
Make Buffalo Green
We continue our work on community gardens, tree planting, beautification and cleanup.
Community Education
Current Project: Rainbow House Education Collective.
Ongoing Project: We continue to guide young adults between 18 and 30 to develop the skills they need to support themselves and their community, expand their horizons and thrive.
Advocate for ReUse
We continue our work researching, experimenting, reporting and advocating for increased material reclamation and reuse.
