BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Goo Goo Dolls will be playing special hometown shows to benefit FeedMore WNY at Town Ballroom later this month.

Originally, there was one show scheduled to be held at 8 p.m. on November 20. There has now been a second show added, on November 19.

The Goo Goo Dolls made the announcement in a social media post and said, "We hope that you can join us for a very special hometown show on Thursday, November 20th, at Town Ballroom in Buffalo to benefit FeedMore WNY and their mission to provide nutritious food, friendship, and skills training to Western New York neighbors in need."

On Wednesday, Town Ballroom announced a second show had been added on the 19th.

Tickets are on sale now.

This comes at a critical time for families as uncertainty surrounds SNAP benefits due to the ongoing government shutdown.

FeedMore recently received a big boost from the Buffalo Police Department and Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon. The acting mayor joined members of the police department’s Foot Patrol Integration Unit on Monday to deliver 6,724 pounds of food collected during a weekend citywide donation drive.
