Things Are “Heating Up” at The Foundry!
 The weather is turning cooler, but
things are just beginning to heat up at The Foundry! With money we
raised from many of you during our IndieGoGo campaign we’ve purchased
a waste vegetable oil heating system.
It's part of our mission to leverage waste in the community to get
things done and save money. The heating system will keep costs low,
use local materials, and create a warm, cozy environment for our
residents and guests.
We’re still looking to identify local
sources of waste vegetable oil, from restaurants, institutions, or
schools. If you know businesses that may be willing to donate
their used oil, please email us at in...@thefoundrybuffalo.org.
There’s A Lot to Celebrate!
 We hope you’ll join us this Saturday, October
12th from Noon to Five for our Second
Saturday, featuring a CHILI COOKOFF!
Do you have a winning CHILI recipe? Well, whip it up and bring a
pot to Second Saturday. Submit your chili by 1:30 p.m. Voting will
take place between 2 and 3 pm.
We’ll be roasting COFFEE, brewing BEER, and eating CHILI. There
will be live and lively music by the Mark Filsinger Jazz
Quartet and freshly harvested produce by the
Farmer Pirates.
Not to mention demonstrations and wares by our talented cast of
resident and visiting artisans. It's a party and we hope you’ll join
us to celebrate the success of how much we’ve accomplished
together!
Have You Built The Foundry?
 The Foundry welcomes individuals and
groups to get involved in growing and developing the space. Now more
than ever, we need your help as we prepare for the move-in of more
residents and the coming of winter.
If you’re part of a
school, church, or community group looking for a tangible and
meaningful volunteer experience, please email in...@thefoundrybuffalo.org. We welcome all groups
and all levels of experience. We'd love to put your name on the wall
as someone who helped build The Foundry.
Mark Your calendars!
Here are TWO opportunities right away for you to get involved:
Another BIG community workday at The
Foundry! Saturday October 19th, from 10 am - 2 p.m. Please

system, and so much more. A fun day to get involved.
