Schools across WNY collect food to help the Buffalo Bills 'Huddle for Hunger'

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills Foundation and Wegmans have once again teamed up to fight hunger in Western New York with "Huddle for Hunger." This annual initiative helps raise awareness of food insecurity in Western New York and supports local hunger-fighting charities. Thousands of donations are collected for FeedMore WNY .

According to FeedMore WNY, 1 in 7 people, and 1 in 5 children in Western New York face food insecurity.

Local schools are a huge component of the food donation collections. As part of Huddle for Hunger, each year, schools across Western New York compete to collect food donations. Whichever school collects the most wins a visit from the Bills in April.

"It's very sad and unfortunate, but we should come together as a community and help them," said Br
