On March 1, Firefighter Jason Arno made the ultimate sacrifice while battling a fire on Main Street in Buffalo. Jason’s family has asked for donations to be made to the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter in his memory. Help us honor Jason while helping animals in need by dropping off new and gently used items to our Orchard Park Branch.
Lake Shore Savings will deliver the items and a $500 donation to the shelter the week of May 1.
