Dunkirk Farmers Market

05/29/2026

❗Food insecurity leaves millions of families wondering where their next meal will come from.

Chautauqua County faces one of the highest food insecurity rates in New York State, hovering around 15.4% overall and exceeding 20% for children. Driven by a combination of high rural poverty, stagnant wages, and transportation barriers, residents in both remote areas and urban centers like Jamestown and Dunkirk struggle to access adequate nutrition.

The Numbers: The county's food insecurity rate significantly outpaces the New York State average (13.4%).Vulnerable Populations: Families with young children, senior citizens, and those living in remote or rural regions are disproportionately impacted.

The Dunkirk Farmers Market uses programs to help with what programs are available through the State. However if you are looking for other ways to stretch your hard earned dollars, here are a few free programs for you.

FeedMore WNY: The region's largest food bank and Meals on Wheels provider. You can find local pantries, food drops, and meal delivery programs using the FeedMore WNY page.

Food Pantry's: Serving as a vital lifeline for county residents. Details on operating hours and assistance can be found directly via the a Food Pantry website.

OrderAhead: A convenient, private online program allowing individuals to order free groceries directly from the Feeding America network. Search for available distributions using OrderAhead.org

If you want more than what you see here, please contact your local City, County or State representative.
