Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank

Food is a basic human need, yet every day thousands of our neighbors struggle to have enough food on their plates. At Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, we work to ensure that anyone who needs a healthy meal can get one.

The Mission of the Food Bank is to leverage the power of community to achieve lasting solutions to hunger and its root causes.

The Vision of the Food Bank is to see a future with communities where everyone has access to the food and resources they need to thrive.

Since 1980, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank has provided food to people facing hunger and has worked to advance hunger solutions. The Food Bank opened its doors in Pittsburgh’s Hill District at a time when the economy of southwestern Pennsylvania was in decline. The collapse of our region’s economy built on mills and mines devastated people who suddenly had no income, no way to pay their bills and no way to feed themselves or their families. The Food Bank was there to not only provide food assistance, but to help people get back on their feet. In 2000, the Food Bank moved to its facility in Duquesne.

The Food Bank is about so much more than putting food boxes into people’s trunks. Our work is about all of us coming together to meet the needs of our neighbors where and when they need us.

The Food Bank works with a network of 1,000+ partner agencies across the 11 counties that it serves to not only make sure no one has to go hungry, but also to stabilize lives and confront issues of chronic hunger, poor nutrition and health.

And through its advocacy efforts, the Food Bank has become a primary driver in comprehensive anti-hunger endeavors at the regional, statewide and national level

The Food Bank is a proud member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. To learn more about the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank visit its website at Home | Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (pittsburghfoodbank.org)
