For more than 48 years Crisis Services has been Western New York’s “Go-To” solution for people in desperate needof help. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’ve done so by promoting the health, safety and well-being of our community through prevention, education, immediate intervention and access to community-wide resources. 365 days a year. In fact, Crisis Services is among the most comprehensive crisis centers in all of New York State.
Now entering its tenth year, MEN Who COOK celebrates the art and science of food while raising awareness and resources for Crisis Services. Anchored by some of Buffalo’s favorite amateur chefs, supported by our most-preferred restaurants and washed down with favorite local refreshments, this signature event will be held on Tuesday, October 4, 2016. Nearly 400 guests are expected to attend.
The selections from our amateur chefs would be featured at some of the finest restaurants and could humble the most experienced professionals.
Come and treat all your senses amidst the backdrop of the beautifully restored Golden Ballroom at Statler City.
