BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — With the holidays just days away, Buffalo families received extra support through a free holiday food distribution at 1319 Jefferson Avenue. The event offered produce, pantry staples and festive treats to anyone who needed them.
The distribution was created by Agents for Advocacy, in partnership with Our Mommie Village and United Healthcare Community Plan of New York, all working to ensure that no family goes without this season.
“What we do is connect moms with the resources that they need. We are with them from the beginning of pregnancy on up to after the baby is born, and we kind of give them all the support and resources they need to make sure that they have a great support team,” Sky Hart said.
Hart, a doula in training with Our Mommie Village, said the organization supports expectant mothers and shows up for families year-round.
“We are giving back to families, making sure that they have a little extra support with food, and we also have them getting acquainted with United Healthcare to make sure that people have insurance as well, and we’re just spreading the love for the holidays and making sure families are well appreciated,” Hart said…
