We’re so very excited to have opened our Little Free Food Pantry to the public on November 20, 2021!
We are beyond grateful to all who made our dream come to fruition: Councilman Ken Tompkins for believing in us and for making all of the necessary connections, Kendra Cleri, Jacqueline Johnson, Geoffrey Burns & John Walp for dedicating their Facebook birthday fundraisers to us, MJ Alessi for her guidance & inspiration, Gary Johnson for building the box from a crazy idea in our heads, Brian Markovich & David Dingman for ensuring that it was installed properly, Joanne Lorenzo for allowing us to place it on the property. We appreciate you all more than you could possibly know. Anyone can bring items to help fill the box at anytime at 1910 Falls Street at the corner of 19th
and Falls Street, it is well lit and there is a security camera.
Love,
Honoring a Hero. Serving the Community.
The John J. Fiore Memorial Golf Tournament was founded in 2009 by the family and friends of John Fiore to honor his
memory after his tragic passing on Flight 3407 in Clarence, New York, on February 12, 2009. In 2019, the event
was formally incorporated as The John Fiore Foundation, and we proudly received 501(c)(3) status in 2020.
John dedicated his life to his family and his country, serving with distinction for 30 years in both the
U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force. A true patriot, he fought for our freedom in Vietnam, Desert Storm,
and completed two tours in the Iraqi War.
John retired from active duty in 2006 as a Chief Master Sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force.
He was looking forward to retiring from his civilian job at Washington Mills in 2011. He is our hero, and his absence is deeply felt every day. John had a heart for helping others, especially children. He led numerous fundraisers for Oishei Children's Hospital
and supported many local causes close to his heart.
Thanks to your unwavering kindness, generosity, and belief in our mission,
we have donated over $778, 659 through March 2026, including $102,059 in 2025 alone.
This includes:
$312,500 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western New York
$91,250 to WNY Heroes
$47,500 to SABAH, Inc.
$20,000 to Diamonds in the Ruff Animal Rescue
$14,190 to Bloneva Bond Primary School
$293,219 to various organizations, families, and individuals in our community
We are incredibly humbled by your continued support. You are the reason we can carry on John's legacy and give back to the Western New York community in meaningful ways. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.
