Buffalo Promise Keepers, Buffalo FATHERS give out free coats and food to families

BUFFALO, NY (WIVB) – Two local groups joined forces on Monday to help the community.

Buffalo Promise Keepers and Buffalo FATHERS distributed free food, coats, and blankets to families in need.

Leonard Lane, president of Buffalo FATHERS, says people who are homeless find it especially difficult when it gets cold outside.

“We want to make sure families, children and parents are cared for in December when those cold months begin,” Lane said.

He also said the Basil merchant family played a huge role in fundraising.
