BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Catholic Charities is celebrating the opening of its newly relocated Lovejoy Food Pantry at 118 Schiller St.

"The new space is more accessible, more welcoming," said Carolyn Stewart, the program manager for Catholic Charities.

"We have a waiting room right by our service area so our clients don't have to wait outside in the cold Buffalo winter," Stewart said. "It's a quicker, more efficient way to serve our clients and get them what they need."

Items most in demand include:

  • canned soup
  • canned vegetables
  • toiletries
  • paper supplies
  • cleaning supplies

Lovejoy Food Pantry is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., providing families with three meals per day for three days.
