Outreach Opportunities

As Christians we are called to Love God, Love Neighbor & Change the World.
Here are some ways that we can take action to change the world.

1. Address unequal opportunities
In the Buffalo region more than 50% of the children live in poverty.  That means that more than half the children in our region don’t have the access to technology, educational opportunities and enrichment activities that most of the children in our congregation do.

The Greater Buffalo Racial Equity Roundtable issued a report in 2018 about the inequities in our region and what we could gain as a community if they were addressed.  You can find the report here – https://cfgb.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/racial-equity-dividend-report-2018.pdf

Say Yes Buffalo has started a drive to provide reliable technology to students in Buffalo.  You can find the link to the drive here (https://sayyesbuffalo.wedid.it/campaigns/7543)

2. Write to your elected representatives and express your opinion
You can find information on the Erie County Legislature here – https://www2.erie.gov/legislature/
You can find information on the State Legislature here – https://nyassembly.gov/ & here https://www.nysenate.gov/

3. Volunteer for Hearts & Hands Faith in Action
This is a group of volunteers that help senior citizens in our communities.  You can grocery shop, provide transportation to appointments, be a phone buddy to help someone stay connected or help with home repairs & yard work.
