The Winter Preparedness Fairs are comprehensive events that aim to provide a wide range of critical resources to help WNY residents manage the challenges of Buffalo's winter season. If you have any questions about the NFTA's participation, please contact Kelly.Khatib@nfta.com.
The fairs will include:
- Winter Weather Care Kits: These kits are designed to help attendees build their own essential winter supply kits, ensuring they are prepared for whatever the winter may bring.
- Food & Shelter Resources: Information about local shelters and food programs available during winter.
- Assistance Program Registrations: Residents can register for various assistance programs.
