Folks may donate to East Side Stewards  through this link. Their mission is to “transform Buffalo’s East Side into a thriving, sustainable community by revitalizing green spaces, redeveloping vacant land into shared community assets, building pathways for a greener workforce, and ensuring residents have equitable access to the resources needed to live, work, and grow in place.”

Colored Girls Bike Too is also raising money and hosting a Spring kickoff event, which will be held at 1353 Jefferson Ave., tomorrow, April 3rd from 4pm to 7pm, and Saturday, April 4th, from 2pm to 5pm.
