It's a meat raffle. It's also kind of a big deal.

More than 7,000 people in Erie County experience homelessness every year. Right now, only one in five can get the help they need. The Homeless Alliance of WNY is working to change that, and on May 15, 2026, you can help.

Join the Homeless Alliance for its first-ever Meat Raffle at the Knights Events Center in Cheektowaga. Your entry ticket includes access to seventeen meat raffle rounds, plus basket raffles, wine pulls, gift card draws, a 50/50, and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks. Bring your favorite snacks. Come for the fun. Stay because the stakes are real.

Presale tickets are $15. Tables of eight are $100. Tickets at the door are $20. Can't make it? A $5 donation at WNYhomeless.org still has impact.

Doors open at 6 p.m. First spin at 7 p.m.

Knights of Columbus Events Center 2735 Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY 14227
