The Amherst Central Alumni Foundation, through generous donations from alumni, provides financial support to programs which enhance the student experience throughout Amherst Central School District. The foundation is an independent 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization. Our donors help bridge the gap between basic funding and what Amherst students need to truly excel.

Since 2003, our grant program has given almost $100,000 in grants to the Amherst Central School District.

About Daily Bread

Daily Bread Food Truck is Buffalo’s first and only non-profit food share truck. Their philosophy is based on the “get one, give one” principle: during the summer months, when you purchase certain items from the menu, the money will provide a meal to hungry families in the community. 100% of the truck’s overhead costs have been provided by generous donations that allow them to take every dollar beyond supplies and staff costs and put it toward meals during the winter months. UPDATE: On September 13, 2018, an engine fire cut the food truck’s season short and rendered it a total loss. Fundraising efforts are in effect to replace the truck.
