The TSA gift card donation drive, held on Tuesday, March 24, at the Buffalo Airport, was a tremendous success. Throughout the day, community members came together to donate a diverse selection of gift cards, including those for groceries, gas, and other essentials. This initiative was organized to help alleviate the financial burdens faced by TSA employees during the shutdown.

Thanks to the generous contributions from the Western New York community, the drive collected over $22,000 in gift card donations. This incredible display of support underscores our collective commitment to those who work tirelessly to ensure that our Buffalo and Niagara Falls airports remain safe, compliant, and welcoming.

The NFTA extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated, including local residents, businesses, staff, and volunteers. The unwavering support for these essential workers is truly remarkable.
