Hi my name is Evette Phillips. Five years ago I started an organization called We R Buffalo Strong because I felt compelled to help our homeless community. Being a single mother of four kids, I was barely making ends meet, so I wasn't sure how I could help our forgotten souls left to dwell in the trenches but I knew I had to become the change I wanted to see in my city. I formed a group consisting of my kids and family, we began to take food and clothing downtown for them. After becoming 2017's Humanitarian of the Year, more volunteers came on board to help my cause. Since 2013, we have fed more than 6,460 people to date. We also help our veterans who risked their lives for us. Our goal is to make sure no one goes hungry or cold and with your help we can achieve this goal. I challenge you to make a difference in your community and become the change you want to see because together, WE R BUFFALO STRONG!
