Totally Buffalo Cares

Bringing Joy, Comfort, and Support to Kids Who Need It Most

Our Mission

Totally Buffalo Cares exists to bring joy, comfort, and hope to children and families in Western New York when they need it most. Our work spans many heartfelt initiatives, each designed to meet both practical and emotional needs:

Cares Packages

Personalized bundles filled with love, created for each child to bring comfort, encouragement, and a smile during life’s hardest moments.

Cupboards of Care

Stocking parent and patient lounges on every floor at Oishei Children’s Hospital with snacks, coffee, and treats so families can stay close and feel supported.

Bags of Love

Providing newborns and their families with diapers, clothing, bedding, and other essentials to give babies the best possible start.

Bags of Hope

Delivering necessities, comfort items, and care to seniors in our community, reminding them they are valued and never forgotten.

Make a Case for Kids

Filling thousands of pillowcases with toys, books, winter gear, and more at Christmas, ensuring children in need—including those battling illness—feel joy and love during the holiday season.

At Totally Buffalo Cares, we believe that every act of kindness—big or small—has the power to change lives. With the help of our incredible community, we are here to remind children, families, and seniors that they are loved, supported, and never alone.

“Because every child and family deserves comfort, hope, and love.”

We Rise By Lifting Others

It can be difficult to get through life if you are alone, afraid, unemployed, stressed out, sick, or financially unable to get even life’s basics. We hope to make every day brighter, sweeter, and more memorable through donations of food, gifts, trips, wanted and needed items for families in need! Please join our family in bringing hope to the families in our community.
