St. Brendan’s next Public Forum is Tuesday, April 20, at 7 p.m. via Zoom. The topic is Social Justice and Food Security.
Mitch Bassi, a long-time volunteer at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, will be speaking on how the Food Bank bridges communities and resources in our region to help our neighbors in need overcome food insecurities and lead healthy, happy lives.
Because of the pandemic, individuals and families who never imagined asking for a helping hand have turned to the Food Bank for the first time. People most vulnerable to food insecurity, such as people of color, veterans, people with disabilities, seniors and children need our support more than ever to ensure they have a steady source of fresh and healthy food.
We will be raising funds to assist the Food Bank in helping our brothers and sisters in need during this very difficult time. If you would like to make an early donation, it’s easy! Just go to pittsburghfoodbank.org/stbrendans and you can make your donation right there. For every $1 raised, the Food Bank is able to provide five meals to those in need. Our goal is $5,000. When we reach our goal, the Food Bank will be able to provide 25,000 more meals!
