If you need assistance, here may be some help.
As Western New York, and particularly the city of Buffalo, continues to dig out from the blizzard, I wanted to make this post as a way to help share resources & links that may be of use to those in need.
I’ll update as I can to continue pointing people to resources.
If you have a useful link to add, please share it in the comments.
