BUFFALO, N.Y. A nearly $15,000 award is going to help two local programs meet the basic needs of South Buffalo students, and assist those who were recently homeless.
The East Hill Foundation awarded Catholic Charities $14,995 to help support its South Buffalo Promise Zone Neighborhood Closing the Gap program and its Rapid Re-Housing program.
Catholic Charities says most of the money will go towards building a school community needs closet, which will provide students in four South Buffalo-area public schools with basic needs, such as hygiene products and clothes.
