Rising prices hurt everyone, but the poor suffer the most.  The number of people coming for food daily has increased the number of meals served to an average of 1,400 per day (Mon-Sat).  
Costs for food, fuel, etc affect St. Luke's Mission of Mercy too.

The crisis for shelter in pictures.

For every 10 homeless, there's one shelter bed.  St. Luke's, like the other shelters in Buffalo, is unable to take more people in.  Sadly, people are trying to find places to rest around our campus.  Don't look away.  Join us in looking to help now and create sustainable solutions.   
Ministries
Everyday in Western New York, people are in need of food, clothing, shelter and basic necessities. At St. Luke's, we strive to meet these needs and care for the poor and abandoned in our community by carrying
​out the Works of Mercy.
Our Dining Room and our Sandwich Ministry provide over 9,600 meals a week. We help over 100 families with clothing and household items each week. We provide shelter for over 100 people. Each week our baby room provides necessary items for over 100 families with infants and toddlers. Our Thanksgiving and Christmas Food and Toy Ministries help thousands of families each year.
In all we do for God's poor, we stress that they are loved by God and not forgotten.
​Get Involved!

Will you make sure that each person has a meal this holiday season? 
Donate to the Holiday Food Drive. 
The Holiday Food Drive provides more than a single dinner. Each family takes home enough to feed four for multiple meals because the bags include pantry items like cereal, canned food, peanut butter, fresh vegetables, and other nutritious foods. 
​
Community volunteers groups make a big difference! Employee work days from places like M&T bank, Lawley Insurance, National Grid and others come to lend a hand in feeding the hungry!
​We are so thankful to corporations who run drives.  They give  their employees and customers a chance to donate. Donations of diapers and baby formula to our baby room, food for the pantry, school supplies, and so much more. We appreciate your kindness and generosity. ♥️
Here's an idea! Buffalo Black Nurses Association picked a theme and collected hygiene items for women.
