Can you help?
Your gift to St. Susan Center will help
provide a nutritional meal to those in our community who enjoy far
too few of them.
In 2008, St. Susan Center served 135,761 meals. That’s nearly 30,000
more meals than were needed in 2007. The need we have met over the
past six years, in fact, has more than doubled, increasing by 128%.
That increase is likely to continue, as our current economic condition
causes more and more individuals and families to seek help wherever
they can find it. Can you help?
All gifts, including those made in honor or in memory of a special
person or event, are welcome and are acknowledged appropriately.

Current Wish List
St. Susan Center benefits most from monetary
contributions, because the soup kitchen has greater buying power
than most consumers, through the Food Bank of WNY. However, if you
would like to have a food drive to benefit the Center, please consider
asking for contributions of the items needed most.
Currently, they are:
- Fresh Fruit & Veggies
- Good sources of calcium (milk, yogurt, cheese)
- Healthy snacks (nuts, dried fruit, fruit, granola)
Non-food gifts may also be given in honor or in memory of a special
person or event. |

Even
with all the food and
money in
the world, St. Susan Center could not fulfill its
mission without the support of its dedicated
volunteers.
Our volunteers are seniors, students, business and
community leaders, service clubs and homemakers.
Many are members of the Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP). Some have two hours a month to
share, others work several hours, still others come
occasionally in groups – whatever suits their
interests and schedules. There
are many ways to serve. In addition to cooking and
serving meals, there are food donations to be
unloaded, dishes to be run through the dish washer,
bakery products to distribute, mailings to post,
events to plan, and much more.
The soup kitchen is always happy to welcome new
volunteers, as schedules, availability and interests change. Guided
and supported by a dedicated staff, volunteers are
the first faces seen by our guests. Their smiles and
caring hearts are an essential ingredient in every
meal we serve.
| "A volunteer is one who believes
that one person can make a difference
and is willing to prove it." |
Could that be you?
