​




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.

​                                                     

WHAT WE DO (The Works of Mercy) 
​Feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, bury the dead.

 We need you, today! 

Picture
Rising prices hurt everyone, but the poor suffer the most. The number of people coming for food and meals each day has increased. We now serve an average of 1,800 meals per day (Mon-Sat). As costs for food, kitchen supplies, utilities and fuel rise, it directly impacts our expenses at St. Luke's.

The crisis for shelter in pictures.

For every 10 homeless people, 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.   
​Get Involved!
​Volunteers are a critical partner in ministering to the homeless and hurting in our community! If you are interested in volunteering, please check out the opportunities listed on this website. We hope you will find a great sense of satisfaction in partnering with St. Luke’s.
