MISSIONAs the department of town government responsible for recreation and youth services, we are dedicated to providing quality programs, services, and opportunities in which all people can participate and enjoy.
We offer individuals the opportunity for personal growth in the areas of education, health, athletics, the arts, and social development. In addition, we provide referrals to those with needs beyond our resources.
Am I A Cheektowaga Resident?A resident of Cheektowaga is anyone who lives within the town borders. This includes residents of the Village of Sloan and residents of the Village of Depew, who live west of Transit Road. If your mailing address and zip code is Depew, NY 14043 and you live west of Transit Road, you are a resident. A non-resident is anyone who does not live within the Town of Cheektowaga.

Y.E.S. Information & Events
Y.E.S. (Youth Engaged in Service)Ages 12-18 It’s been an interesting year to say the least! We’ve got exciting news that will get teens out of the house and meet new people while making a difference in the community. We are excited to announce that the YES program is back in action this fall!
YES volunteers make crafts with kids, cook meals at the Ronald McDonald House, socialize with nursing residents, assist with holiday events and so much more. Not only does YES provide community service hours required for graduation, it’s an opportunity to make new friends, gain leadership skills and provide a sense of accomplishment -- plus it also looks great for college and job applications!
