Consider donating toys to sick children this Giving Tuesday – December 3rd!

We know Western New Yorkers do not need a reason or even a day designated for giving – because giving is 24/7, 365 for this community. That being said, we are hoping you will consider our mission on this Giving Tuesday – December 3, 2019.

Our mission is Make a Case for Kids. A toy drive for sick children at Oishei Children’s Hospital and other children in need in our community. We’re making it as easy as possible for you to help!

So, what is Make a Case for Kids?(you can read more at totallybuffalohopefortheholidays.org)

We have collected 500 pillowcases. Many of them hand made by folks in our community. We will fill each one with toys, crafts, games and more! Each case will be given out to a child in need – our way of showing these children and families that they are not alone. We are giving them toys, crafts and games but we are gifting them with hope and love!

We have the pillowcases – now we need the toys!!

So, how can you help?

On December 3rd – drop off a new, unwrapped toy at any freestanding Spot Coffee location!

Anyone who drops off a new, unused toy will get 15% off their order that day!!!!

So the SPOT to help us is Spot Coffee!!! All of them!

ALSO – anyone who drops off a toy or makes a monetary donation THAT day will be entered to win two free tickets in the Dunn Tire Club Section for Bills/Baltimore game on December 8th!!!

You can find more information on this mission or make a donation – by heading to totallybuffalohopefortheholidays.org.

You can find our Amazon Wish list HERE. 

If your business would like to get involved and sponsor cases for kids – please reach out to us – maryfriona@totallybuffalo.com.

We’ve also teamed up with WIVB – Channel 4 – and they will be live from the Spot Coffee on Main (at Union) in Williamsville on December 3rd for their morning and noon shows!! Our entire team will be there collecting toys, celebrating this community and helping those in need. We will have a toy shop set up right inside THIS Spot Coffee so if you didn’t have time to grab a toy, you can do-so there. You can stop and say hi to our friends from Channel 4 and make a difference for a sick child!!

About Me

 

 

Welcome to Totally Buffalo! A local lifestyle website.

My name is Mary Friona-Celani and I am the creator of this site! I’m a wife, a mom, a grandma, a Buffalo booster, an entrepreneur and a small business owner. I’m so glad you stopped by.  After 20 years in the buffalo media, I went out on my own to tell stories about the people, places, events and all-around fabulousness of this wonderful place we call home. Buffalo is different and so is this site. We are here to share stories, encourage kindness, and help make this a better place to live.

We’ll help those in need when we can through our charity arm, Totally Buffalo Cares.

We help local small businesses, artisans and vendors though our events and our Totally Buffalo Stores.

We’ll do all of this with a little help from friends in our community.
