PUSHing to raise money for the West Side

   PUSH Buffalo will host a fundraiser Nov. 10 at Trinity Episcopal Church, 371 Delaware Ave.
 Donations are accepted but there is no cost to attend the fundraiser. Breakfast will be served for those who attend.
  “Our people are the actual building blocks, but we are actually building [city] blocks,” said Britney McClain, development director at PUSH.
 PUSH Buffalo’s mission is to create affordable, sustainable housing and create strong neighborhoods in the city of Buffalo. The organization aims to increase property ownership by low-income residents and also builds houses on the West Side.
 For more information about the event or PUSH Buffalo, contact the organization at 716-884-0356 or visit their office at 271 Grant Street.  By Melissa Kania and Kevin Freiheit
