About Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank

An alarming number of families across the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank's 11-county service area spend time worrying about where their next meal is coming from, and struggle to get access to nutritious, affordable items that will sustain them. In the Greater Pittsburgh Region 1 in 10 individuals experience food insecurity, including 1 in 8 children.

The Food Bank makes a significant impact on the communities it serves by providing people with the foods they want and need most and reducing food insecurity through local outreach and partnerships. The Food Bank participates annually in the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community to create an opportunity for our partner food pantries to share their impact with a broader group, and raise much-needed funds to support their work on the neighborhood level. All funds raised go towards purchasing food items to serve families who seek food assistance from local organizations.
