  12. Solidarity, not charity: A comprehensive guide to food access and mutual aid in Buffalo.

    When systemic safety nets fall short, the community steps in. Building real neighborhood power begins with ensuring our neighbors have their basic material needs met. Whether it is finding a safe place during a winter freeze or accessing fresh groceries for the week, mutual aid functions as the lifeblood of a resilient city.
    We compiled a wide-ranging directory of food access and emergency resources directly into The Rising Tide Fellowship Linktree. This list connects you to the Buffalo Community Fridges, local neighborhood pantries, FeedMore WNY, SNAP resources, and emergency Code Blue shelters.
    Experiencing food insecurity or needing a warm place to stay is a structural failure of the current economy, not a personal flaw. Mutual aid is about neighbors helping neighbors survive an extractive system.
    If you or someone you know is looking for support, or if you are an organizer looking for local initiatives to plug into and help distribute resources, you can find the direct links in our digital headquarters.

    Three Years In, New York’s #UrbanAgriculture Office Has Delivered

    by Haley Schusterman, January 20, 2026

    "Three years in, the office is delivering on its full mandate. It built its own relationships with community leaders and advocates, launched education programs connecting students to working #farms, opened pathways for #SmallFarmers to sell to city institutions, mapped the city’s urban agriculture landscape, and pushed for procurement reform that could redirect how the city spends its food dollars. The office is working to change how eight million #NewYorkers grow, buy, and think about food, using urban agriculture as a lever for #ClimateAction, #EnvironmentalJustice, #FoodAccess, workforce development, and economic #resilience."

  21. #GazaSoupKitchen Update

    January 8, 2026 by #HaniAlmadhoun, Organizer

    "Dear friends, allies, and partners in good,

    In the last two days of 2025, the #Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location. Since then, it has been running strong. And yet, every time I think about expanding kitchens in Gaza, I don’t feel a sense of achievement. It feels like a setback for humanity.

    Every meal we serve matters—but the growth of these kitchens is a painful measure of how far things have fallen. No amount of coordination, care, or sacrifice can change the truth: this is emergency survival, not dignity.

    I keep coming back to the real goal we’ve always had: not to add kitchens, but to close them. Success, to me, looks like people back in their homes, cooking for their children, rather than standing in line for a meal.

    What worries me most is the next generation. Children growing up in aid lines instead of classrooms, learning to ration far too early. I think of the Nakba generation, who built lives and institutions out of ruins. That same #Palestinian spirit is here—but under enormous strain. Resilience isn’t endless, and it shouldn’t be romanticized. People were never meant to live like this.

    And yet, that spirit persists—in neighbors sharing crumbs, teachers refusing to stop teaching, people showing up for each other when almost nothing remains. That matters. I feel it deeply.

    But care alone is not enough. Soup kitchens are a bridge, not a future. The true measure of progress isn’t how well we manage hunger, but how soon we make it unnecessary.

    Our Impact Today

    We are serving communities across the #GazaStrip—from #KhanYounes in the south to #BeitLahia in the north. Our kitchens serve real, edible meals—not factory food lacking taste or flavor.

    We now scale to serve up to 15,000 families per week.

    This week, distributions included winter clothing, baby milk and diapers, food parcels, and hygiene and cleaning supplies.

    Our most effective team is in #GazaCity.

    The middle-area team in #DeirElBalah is facing space challenges and newer staff, but they are accelerating their distributions and solving logistical issues.

    In addition to serving families who register online:

    30% of our work happens outside the registration system, with teams dispatched daily to reach disconnected communities.

    Water trucks continue to roll daily—about ten per day.

    The medical point in Mashrou’ Beit Lahia sees 60–80 patients a day.

    The classroom in Khan Younes is teaching 30 children daily, and we are preparing to launch an orphan learning center in Gaza City within two weeks.

    Looking Forward

    Ramadan is just weeks away, and we’re concerned that #Israel may limit the number of trucks again, as announced yesterday. This would affect #FoodAccess and increase costs—but for now, we are holding off from buying everything in the market prematurely.

    What helps us most is sharing our videos, stories, and updates—engaging, commenting, and spreading awareness. If you can, consider becoming a monthly donor.

    To give context:

    Our daily operational costs have risen from $15,000/day to $30,000/day.

    This page used to average $5,000/day in donations, now it’s under $2,000/day.

    I hate asking for money, but as our team’s response grows, donations are not keeping pace. Your support is critical, and I hope you can help us think creatively about the future.

    Thank you for being here. For every crumb shared, every child fed, and every story told, your partnership matters.

    With deep gratitude,
    Hani
    Gaza Soup Kitchen

    P. S. In other news, Israel hit two schools today where we run kitchens, there has been injuries and at least one fatality which is tragic, our staff are unharmed as they had just washed up and left for the day."

  24. #GazaSoupKitchen Update

    January 8, 2026 by #HaniAlmadhoun, Organizer

    "Dear friends, allies, and partners in good,

    In the last two days of 2025, the #Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location. Since then, it has been running strong. And yet, every time I think about expanding kitchens in Gaza, I don’t feel a sense of achievement. It feels like a setback for humanity.

    Every meal we serve matters—but the growth of these kitchens is a painful measure of how far things have fallen. No amount of coordination, care, or sacrifice can change the truth: this is emergency survival, not dignity.

    I keep coming back to the real goal we’ve always had: not to add kitchens, but to close them. Success, to me, looks like people back in their homes, cooking for their children, rather than standing in line for a meal.

    What worries me most is the next generation. Children growing up in aid lines instead of classrooms, learning to ration far too early. I think of the Nakba generation, who built lives and institutions out of ruins. That same #Palestinian spirit is here—but under enormous strain. Resilience isn’t endless, and it shouldn’t be romanticized. People were never meant to live like this.

    And yet, that spirit persists—in neighbors sharing crumbs, teachers refusing to stop teaching, people showing up for each other when almost nothing remains. That matters. I feel it deeply.

    But care alone is not enough. Soup kitchens are a bridge, not a future. The true measure of progress isn’t how well we manage hunger, but how soon we make it unnecessary.

    Our Impact Today

    We are serving communities across the #GazaStrip—from #KhanYounes in the south to #BeitLahia in the north. Our kitchens serve real, edible meals—not factory food lacking taste or flavor.

    We now scale to serve up to 15,000 families per week.

    This week, distributions included winter clothing, baby milk and diapers, food parcels, and hygiene and cleaning supplies.

    Our most effective team is in #GazaCity.

    The middle-area team in #DeirElBalah is facing space challenges and newer staff, but they are accelerating their distributions and solving logistical issues.

    In addition to serving families who register online:

    30% of our work happens outside the registration system, with teams dispatched daily to reach disconnected communities.

    Water trucks continue to roll daily—about ten per day.

    The medical point in Mashrou’ Beit Lahia sees 60–80 patients a day.

    The classroom in Khan Younes is teaching 30 children daily, and we are preparing to launch an orphan learning center in Gaza City within two weeks.

    Looking Forward

    Ramadan is just weeks away, and we’re concerned that #Israel may limit the number of trucks again, as announced yesterday. This would affect #FoodAccess and increase costs—but for now, we are holding off from buying everything in the market prematurely.

    What helps us most is sharing our videos, stories, and updates—engaging, commenting, and spreading awareness. If you can, consider becoming a monthly donor.

    To give context:

    Our daily operational costs have risen from $15,000/day to $30,000/day.

    This page used to average $5,000/day in donations, now it’s under $2,000/day.

    I hate asking for money, but as our team’s response grows, donations are not keeping pace. Your support is critical, and I hope you can help us think creatively about the future.

    Thank you for being here. For every crumb shared, every child fed, and every story told, your partnership matters.

    With deep gratitude,
    Hani

    Wealth inequality limited access to fresh seafood for lower-income communities, perpetuating a cycle where local fishers struggled to make a living while consumers found it hard to afford fresh catch.
