If you are in need of assistance, please reach out to the pastor or church office to see if the church can meet that need. Some resources for assistance are available via:
Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank: https://www.pittsburghfoodbank.org/covid19/.
Within that website, there is a locator option to input your location to find the closest food resource.
Drive Up Distributions have been in operation as close as the Pittsburgh Airport—check early each week to see if one has been scheduled that you might access. The process goes very quickly.
Persons in need, but unable to get to a food distribution, should contact the food bank, as there are delivery options.
Dialing 211 (that’s it) reaches the United Way, which will connect callers to many resources—be patient, 211 has been overwhelmed. An additional number has been set up: 1-888-856-2774.
