SNAP and Life Stabilization Resources - Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank

We enroll individuals in SNAP and Food Bank programs, provide information and resource referrals and help people stabilize their lives to become more food secure.

We use empathy, compassion and active listening skills to take an individualized and collaborative approach with each individual with whom we speak.

We engage in outreach for SNAP. We also help individuals enroll in food assistance programs and connect individuals to accurate and timely information about resources that span beyond food in areas such as housing, transportation and employment throughout the Food Bank’s service area. Learn how to apply for SNAP (also known as food stamps) and about SNAP income guidelines.

When an individual or family is in need of food assistance, there may be other areas in which they could benefit from additional help, such as:

Employment

Healthcare

Housing and Utilities

Transportation

Through new and unique collaborations among service providers, including streamlined referrals and co-location opportunities, more people in Southwestern PA can lead healthy, productive lives.

Through the Community Connections area at the Food Bank, partnerships are being expanded with social service providers and other community organizations in areas beyond food, because life is more than just food. These partnerships provide resources and other services like free support groups to Pittsburgh residents. These collaborations will allow us to serve individuals in a more comprehensive way throughout the Food Bank’s 11-county service area and work to make sure that folks are not only food secure today, but for years to come.
