Jamestown's safety net runs deeper than its listings suggest: St. Susan Center has served a free hot meal to anyone in need since 1984 — six days a week — while the Salvation Army on S Main Street, the Bread of Life pantry on W 3rd Street, and a dozen more church pantries cover groceries. Chautauqua County publishes a full food resource guide.
St. Susan Center's Daily Meals
St. Susan's kitchen serves free hot meals Monday–Friday 11 a.m.–2:45 p.m. and Saturdays 12–1:45 p.m. — no qualification, since 1984. Call (716) 664-2253. For a city Jamestown's size, a six-day meal program is the backbone of local food security.
