Although housed on St. Paul’s Church property, The Tiger’s Den Food Pantry is a community-based partnership with the Amherst Schools, local area churches, and the Food Bank of WNY.

The pantry is managed and staffed by a devoted group of volunteers and is solely supported by generous donations from individuals, churches, grocers, and civic organizations in Western NY and Feedmore WNY. In addition to non-perishable food products, through the generosity of our many donors, Tiger’s Den also offers personal care items, paper products, seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables, and fresh bakery products!

As the number of families we serve continues to grow, so does our need for more volunteers. We are always looking for help. If you are interested in being a part of the Tiger’s Den Food Pantry, please contact the St. Paul’s office at 716-835-0407
