BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Harvest House is bringing the Buffalo community together through its third annual drive, donating blankets, clothes, diapers and wipes to families in need.
What started with a handful of churches has now grown to more than 40 participating organizations like Broadview Credit Union and Tops Friendly Markets.
"These are the people that have the boots on the ground, and they're helping families right here in our own community," said Jennifer Chojnicki, Director of Regional Brand Experience at Broadview. "It takes a village, and Broadview is super proud to be a part of that village."

The shower highlights the growing need for support in Buffalo, where nearly 50% of children on the city's east side live below the poverty line. Harvest House alone serves more than 700 children every month.
"Help make sure that the kids living in poverty in Buffalo have the clothes they need," Harvest House CEO Carol Murphy said. "Boots, coats, hats, gloves, educational toys."
