Fair Housing Notice 
Western New York is a region overflowing with pride, passion, and the kind of generosity you can feel the moment you step into any neighborhood. From Buffalo to Tonawanda, from Amherst to Niagara Falls, our community is built on people who care—people who show up, lend a hand, and make this region one of the most compassionate places to live and work.
And now, more than ever, Western New York’s charitable organizations need the support of local businesses, families, and individuals. These groups represent the heart of our community, addressing hunger, supporting families in crisis, empowering youth, and uplifting those facing medical or financial hardships. When charities thrive, Western New York thrives.
As we move into the season of giving, we invite everyone—neighbors, partners, customers, and friends—to join us in strengthening the region we all love.

How You Can Make a Difference This Year
Supporting local charities doesn’t just help the organizations themselves—it strengthens the entire community. Here’s how individuals and businesses alike can step up and get involved:
Donate
Financial contributions—large or small—help nonprofits continue their crucial work. Many organizations also share wish lists of specific needs, making it easy to give items like food, hygiene supplies, toys, clothing, or gift cards.
Volunteer
Volunteers are the backbone of nearly every charitable initiative. Whether you’re serving meals, organizing donations, mentoring youth, or participating in special events, donating your time has an immediate impact.
Participate in Holiday Programs
Adopt-a-family programs, toy drives, warm clothing drives, and food collections help ensure every Western New York family feels joy during the holiday season.
Attend Local Charity Events
Galas, 5Ks, auctions, festivals, and community fundraisers are fun ways to support local organizations while connecting with others who care about the same mission.
Support Through Your Workplace
Structured giving—such as payroll deductions, company fundraisers, team volunteering, or donation matching—multiplies your impact and strengthens corporate community engagement.
Spread the Word
Sometimes the most powerful action is simply sharing a charity’s message, upcoming event, or call for help. Awareness drives action.
Why Giving Back Matters
Charitable support creates a ripple effect. A single donated meal can brighten someone’s day. A warm bed for the night can change someone’s circumstances. A holiday gift for a struggling family can restore hope. A wish granted to a sick child can inspire an entire community.
Every act of kindness—big or small—helps transform lives in Western New York.
And when local businesses lead by example, it encourages others to join in and magnifies the positive impact across the entire community.
Kenmore Development’s Commitment to Community
At Kenmore Development, we believe that building strong communities goes far beyond the walls of the properties we manage. It means investing in the people, families, and organizations that make Western New York such a vibrant and compassionate place to live.
That’s why we’re proud to deepen our charitable engagement every year.
This Holiday Season: Adopting a Hospice Family
This year, our team will be participating in the Hospice holiday program, adopting a family and providing gifts to ensure they experience warmth, joy, and comfort during the season. This initiative is especially meaningful to our team, and we’re honored to support families under Hospice’s care.
Our Ongoing Commitment
In previous years, Kenmore Development has proudly supported:
- Ronald McDonald House Charities of WNY, where our team not only donated but personally prepared and cooked meals for families staying at the House.
- Local food banks, through company-wide food drives designed to support neighbors experiencing hunger or hardship.
These experiences have brought our team closer together and strengthened our shared commitment to giving back.
Join Us in Supporting Western New York Charities
We encourage our residents, tenants, partners, and neighbors to find their own ways—big or small—to support the charities that make Western New York an extraordinary place. Whether through donations, volunteer efforts, or simply spreading the word, every action contributes to a stronger, more caring community.
Together, let’s make this year one of generosity, compassion, and community pride. Together, let’s uplift Western New York.
