North Buffalo Neighbors
North Buffalo Neighbors grew out of an “Aging in Community” initiative begun by the Parkside Community Association and funded in part by the Community Health Foundation of Western and Central New York. The goal was to make it easy for Parkside seniors to live confidently and comfortably in their own homes. We named ourselves Flint Hill Village in honor of the War of 1812 Flint Hill encampment in what is now Delaware Park. During our start up phase as Flint Hill Village, we used some of our funds to provide smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for senior residents of Parkside.
Our group also provided the community with informational meetings on topics such as Erie County Senior Services’ programs, recent changes in New York State health care proxy and Power of Attorney laws, assisted living options in Western New York, and home modifications. In addition, we are members of the Falls Prevention Collaborative and provide literature and speakers to help individuals reduce the risk of falling in the home. We now have decided to expand our borders beyond Parkside to a wider area of North Buffalo. Find our more about North Buffalo Neighbors at the following meetings: Feb 6 1:00 - 3:00 pm Ligth refreshements will be served. Enter off parking lot. Space is not handicapped accessible.
Feb 14 9:30 - 11:00 am A light breakfast will be served at 9am for $2.50. If you plan to eat breakfast, call Carol Rainey at 874-6133, ext 10 no later than Feb 6.
Helping our neighbors get around Transportation can be a major problem for older people, especially during the Buffalo winters. One goal of North Buffalo Neighbors is to help folks out when they face this challenge. Our plan is to match up volunteer drivers with the people who need rides to the doctor, the grocery store, and other essentials. If we have enough drivers, we hope to include rides to cultural and social events as well. We'll launch our service in March 2012. We're now sending out the call to North Buffalo residents for people who need transportation, those who will be willing to provide transportation, and those who would like to help coordinating the two groups to respond to us.
