About Feed Buffalo

Feed Buffalo took root inside of founder, Drea d’Nur, out of a need to feed her own Muslim family. After visiting several pantries, she noticed that none of them had halal food. She was determined to create a community pantry with healthy options that included halal food. D’Nur is working to heal communities with a clear vision and healthy food initiative that focuses on Buffalo’s underserved communities, especially Black and Muslim refugee communities. Their pantry is at 456 Massachusetts Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14213.
