A hand to single parents in rough times

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Good samaritans are stepping up during these tough economic times, and doing what they can for those in need.

Lorey Schultz recently visited a very special place in North Buffalo.

It's a place where people can get a free hot meal, free clothes, and free tutoring for their children, every Wednesday night.

Charmaine Then, Program Founder said, "We started talking to families and we discovered there's a lot of working single parents in this area who, their incomes are stretched, and so coming on Wednesdays for a free meal was helping them."

The weekly 'Night-Out' is open to anyone, with no questions asked. You can find out where it is, or how you can become a volunteer, by watching Lorey's report Friday night on News 4 at 5.
