- Year end campaign for Matt Urban Human Services -

The Home for the Holidays Campaign creates a unique opportunity for businesses and community partners to make a meaningful impact while gaining authentic visibility across Western New York.

Community-Centered Impact – Every dollar invested directly supports families, seniors, and children in need, providing housing,
meals, essential services, and holiday cheer during the toughest season of the year.
High Visibility – Sponsors receive recognition through digital promotions, event signage, and media coverage, aligning your brand with one of Buffalo’s most beloved holiday campaigns.
Mission Alignment – Partnering with Matt Urban Human Services demonstrates your company’s commitment to dignity, safety, and
hope for our community’s most vulnerable neighbors.
Lasting Legacy – Your support not only creates holiday joy but also strengthens systemic change, helping individuals and families break
cycles of poverty and hardship.
