Warehouse Food Distribution
TUESDAY, December 22- 5:30 - 7:30 pm
at the Food Bank in Duquesne
During the economic downturn, the Food Bank will host a Produce to People direct distribution here at the warehouse on the 4th Thursday of every month, from 5:30 - 7:30 pm:
NOTE: DECEMBER'S DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22 DUE TO CHRISTMAS FALLING ON 4TH THURSDAY.
We are trying to target those recently affected by the recession - newly unemployed or underemployed, etc. However, it is open to all who need food who meet the following income guideline: household income 150% or less than the federal poverty limit.
You do NOT have to bring proof of income eligibility, but you will be asked to sign a "self-declaration" that you meet this income guideline. Click here for a family income guide. We will also ask a few questions about your household, and your zip code.
Please do not arrive before 4:30 pm or after 7:15 pm. When you arrive you will receive a line number. Everyone on line with a number at 7:30 will be served.
Please bring bags, boxes and/or a cart to carry away your food - it could be as much as 35 pounds!
