Good morning, Buffalo.

The Wilson Foundation has grown into a leading charitable force in Western New York in less than 10 years, yet some local nonprofits have raised concerns about its impact on community partnerships.

Its evolving role continues to shape local philanthropy.

Twin 12-year-olds Brook and Maya Wilson run Double Trouble Citrus, a homemade lemonade and cookie stand in Tonawanda that donates part of its proceeds to Solid Foundation Prep’s basketball and tech programs.

They will serve customers at 59 Welwyn Circle on July 18 and 19 from noon to 5 p.m.

The Center for Jewish Life in Amherst (which said its cramped space limited its outreach) won approval from the Amherst Planning Board to more than double its space.

The expansion will boost the group's capacity to serve the community.

Buffalo residents can earn extra cash by hosting garage or estate sales to clear out unused items during inflation.

Expert Lisa Stover from Presto Real Estate and Services said garage sales might raise ($500 to $1,000) while estate sales could bring in ($5,000 to $10,000) for those looking to downsize.

Carol Johnson is one of 120 western Niagara landowners who received a letter (from New York DEC and EPA) warning that radioactive waste might be buried on their property decades after the land was declared clean.

A Buffalo patient and his family have filed a legal suit after state officials allegedly sought to keep him sedated at a local psych center (a measure reportedly aimed at limiting his public exposure following safety concerns).

The court case will continue as proceedings move forward.

Roswell Park's lung screening program caught a woman's cancer early, which she said saved her life.

Fewer residents in Western New York are dying from lung cancer (fewer smokers and increasing screenings are a factor) as treatments improve.
