Rain Barrel Fundraiser- Let's Catch Every Drop!

Over the past year, Open Buffalo’s Ecology efforts have expanded in powerful ways; ranging from soil sampling across Buffalo’s East Side, to helping residents access clean mobility options, to supporting the removal of toxic lead pipes in our homes. As federal support for this type of work continues to shrink, your contribution through this fundraiser will help us sustain and grow these vital initiatives.

We're excited to partner with Rain Barrel Fundraising who provides durable, high-quality rain barrels that connect directly to your gutters. Perfect for small gardens, houseplants, filling your children's pool, washing your vehicle on a sunny day or community green spaces.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RAIN BARRELS?

• Save Money and Water: Using rain water instead of tap water for outdoor use, reduces your water bill.
• Protect Your Municipality Water Supply: Collecting water in your rain barrel slows it down from rushing into local water ways and manage storm water runoff..
• Better Gardens: Improve the growth and vitality of your plants by feeding them rain water instead of tap water that contains chemicals. 
• Reduce Risk of Basement Flooding.
   
  Barrels start at just $60 and will be available for pickup on June 21st!
