Daily life is like the weather. We love it when the sun shines and the going is easy, but sometimes it rains, snows or even hails.
Then we find ourselves stuck behind roadblocks
Helping Build New Friendships Since 2014
Here at FUN we strive to build bridges that offer pathways over or around those little hiccups that pop up.
Friends United of WNY (FUN) is a volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that server communities throughout WNY. We are an inclusive program that creates opportunities for people to work together to create unification. Volunteers are always welcome. Come and join us!
Note: All programs and events will have in attendance a volunteer certified in CPR and Community First Aid

Bowling
Culinary
Class
Our culinary program runs on Tuesday nights from 6:30pm-8:30pm from September through June. During class, our students will learn safety skills, sanitation practices, and meal preparation. Our classes are all-inclusive to anyone that loves to cook.
Recreational
Activities
During all our recreational activities, we promote working together, socializing, and most of all, fun. Our activities are all-inclusive to anyone that loves to be active and is seeking to create new friendships.
Currently, we offer a seasonal nature walk program. With any luck, this will expand in the near future. Please check back for updates!
Social Skills
Many of us feel anxiety when faced with public speaking. The fears that can grow out of this can make it difficult to interact socially in a wide variety of settings. None of us want to struggle when shopping, or buying a movie ticket, or anywhere else where we simply want to enjoy life.
To help overcome these fears, we here at FUN are trying something new to us: A social group that works with everyday situations in the form of skits, songs, and participant-run activities. Our goal is to bring some fun and smiles while learning social skills.
Please take a look at our required program participation forms and liability information. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have!
