Our Statement on the passing of H.R. 1 (Bill)

Our neighbors and communities flourish when every senior, child and family has enough food to thrive. While the Food Bank is profoundly disappointed in the passage of a bill that threatens the health of our most vulnerable residents, our mission remains unchanged. In the days and weeks to come, we’ll be working with our partners on a state and national level to better understand the full implications of the bill and preparing for increases in demand throughout our network as the policy changes are instituted. As we always have, we will stand alongside the community to ensure that our neighbors have the food they need to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. We urge neighbors in need of assistance to visit pittsburghfoodbank.org/gethelp to find a program that fits their needs. Community members interested in providing support are asked to consider becoming a monthly donor or getting involved in our mission as a volunteer.
