Buffalo East Side Food Access Map Updated for 2026

An updated map highlights new options—and remaining gaps—in grocery access.

Seeing the gaps clearly

Community planners released an updated food access map showing where residents can reach fresh food within a short walk or bus ride. The update includes new market stops and pantry partners.

Advocates say the map helps direct resources to blocks that are still isolated.

What the map includes

  • Grocery and produce retailers
  • Farm stands and indoor markets
  • Pantry sites and meal programs

Organizers are asking residents to submit updates as new sites open.
