Food Pantry Urgent Support Needed
- Event: Critical support for neighbors facing food insecurity during heightened need period
- Location: Fairhaven UMC
- Time: Ongoing (with current urgency due to increased Allegheny County need)
- Details:
- Urgent Context: Allegheny County faces growing food insecurity – hundreds of thousands are currently without SNAP benefits.
- Action Required:
- One item per person per week makes a difference (e.g., canned goods, dry goods, shelf-stable meals).
- NO glass containers (due to outdoor parking lot storage; glass poses safety hazard).
- Prioritize versatile ready-to-eat items ("pool tops" = shelf-stable, pre-prepared meals like canned soups, pre-cooked proteins, or meal kits with plastic containers).
