HEAL International

We had the honor of welcoming Erie County Legislator Taisha St. Jean T**d, and Lou Petrucci Commissioner of the City of Buffalo’s Department of Permit and Inspections Services (DPIS) for a visit and tour of our growing spaces. Specifically our newly acquired former McDonald’s building, it was a great opportunity to share the vision and the progress with both of them.

Exciting day at !

Our Board President and team were honored to welcome back Mo, along with Erin from Empire State Development. It was a great opportunity to showcase our current space at 240 West Ferry and give a tour of the newly purchased former McDonald’s building.

We’re proud to share the progress we’ve been making—from interior remodeling to securing incredible tenants. This includes a Burmese grocery store opening in just a few weeks, a local tailor for all clothing and alteration needs, and a barber shop—with more on the way.

If you’re interested in touring the space, please reach out to Mustafa Abdo or Juweria Dahir.

As summer approaches, we’re also gearing up for volunteer opportunities! Join us for landscaping, gardening, interior painting, and hands-on projects as we continue building out these spaces for the community.

Big things are happening at HEAL—stay connected!
