Buffalo Community Center partners with Fare For ALL 

Fare For All (FFA) is a low-cost, mobile grocery purchase program- open to ALL. Shopping with Fare for All is a great way to save money on quality, nutritious food. They buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and frozen meat in bulk to pass on deep discounts off typical grocery prices. They select the best food from their shipments, pre-packaging it to give you the best deals. It’s community-supported and open to everyone- there are no qualifications to participate and no pre-registration. By following a co-op model, the more people who shop Fare for All sales, the better the value becomes for everyone! 

Fare For All buys fresh produce and frozen meat in bulk from wholesalers and manufacturers to find the best deals. Volunteers at their warehouse pre-pack the produce and meat into food packages that range in price from $10 – $30. These packages are then sold directly to you at all of our sale locations. All are welcome to shop with FFA! We visit each location for two hours at a time and accept cash, credit, debit, and EBT cards. Personal checks are NOT accepted.

Hand & Foot card game

Hand and Foot is a North American game related to Canasta, in which each player is dealt two sets of cards--the hand, which is played first; and the foot, which is played when the hand has been used up. Join them on Friday mornings from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at the Buffalo Community Center.

Mahjong is a lot like Rummy. You draw and discard tiles, aiming to complete a hand with playable sets. However, instead of a 52-card deck, Mahjong is played with a 144-tile set. When you complete a winning hand, you call "Mahjong!"
