Hungry BFLO delivers medically tailored meals and fresh groceries to Medicaid members across Buffalo and the eight counties of Western New York, at no cost to eligible members.
We make it simple for care managers and health plans to connect eligible members with the food they need to stay healthy at home.
A care manager, provider, or health plan refers an eligible member. We confirm coverage and health-related social needs quickly.
A registered dietitian builds a meal or grocery plan around the member's conditions, preferences, and household.
Fresh meals and groceries arrive at the member's door on a recurring schedule, with friendly check-ins along the way.
If you or someone you care for is managing diabetes, heart disease, a recent hospital stay, pregnancy, or another qualifying condition, you may be eligible for Hungry BFLO at no cost through your Medicaid health plan.

Hungry BFLO works alongside managed care organizations, care management agencies, and social care networks to close the gap between clinical care and the kitchen table. We handle the logistics of sourcing, preparing, and delivering nutritious food so your team can focus on the member.
We are actively expanding partnerships across the Western New York region and welcome the chance to introduce our program to your team.
Hungry BFLO started with a simple observation: too many of our neighbors leave the doctor's office with a treatment plan they cannot follow because the right food is out of reach. Our name is a nod to the city and the animal that define this region, and to our mission of making sure no one in Western New York goes hungry while managing their health.
Today we bring together dietitians, local food sourcing, and a friendly delivery team to serve members referred by health plans and care partners throughout the region.
Our values are straightforward. We treat every member with dignity, we source fresh and culturally familiar food whenever we can, and we show up on time. We believe food is one of the most powerful tools in healthcare, and we are proud to put it to work close to home.
Hungry BFLO is a Western New York based food service organization. Program availability depends on health plan eligibility and referral.
Whether you coordinate care for a handful of members or many thousands, we would love to show you how Hungry BFLO can support your goals.
