KeyBank Delavan-Grider Farmers Market to Return to East Buffalo on Thursday May 29th
Weekly market will help address food insecurity by providing fresh, local produce to the East Buffalo community
BUFFALO, May 23, 2025 /3BL/ – KeyBank is partnering with Buffalo GoGreen and Providence Farm Collective for the fourth consecutive year to launch a weekly farmers market in the city’s Delavan-Grider neighborhood. The market helps address food insecurity by bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to neighborhoods with few options.
The market will be held at the Delavan-Grider Community Center located at 877 East Delavan Avenue. It will take place from 4:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m. each Thursday from May 29 through fall. The market is planned to run rain or shine, with the facility gymnasium designated as an alternate location in the case of inclement weather.
“We’re excited to bring the Delevan-Grider Farmers Market back once again this year,” said Chiwuike “Chi-Chi” Owunwanne, Corporate Responsibility Officer for KeyBank in Buffalo. “Although there’s been progress, food insecurity is still a real problem in this community. We’re proud to do our part alongside Buffalo GoGreen and Providence Farm Collective to provide access to basic resources, like fresh produce, to help our neighbors in East Buffalo thrive.”
In addition to produce vendors, other merchants from around Western New York will take part in the market. Accepted forms of payment are cash, checks, Mastercard, Visa, SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, WIC and Senior Farmers checks. In addition, those who sign up on site for the Double Up Food Bucks program will receive a $10 food voucher to the market courtesy of KeyBank.
