Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania is Bringing Hot Meals to 9 Communities Throughout the Month of May!

This past week, Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania and MedExpress teamed up with Allegheny County Housing Authority, Larimer Consensus Group and Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP), for the first of many South Side BBQ Food Truck Events to offer hot meals, free of charge , to help mitigate food insecurity in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. BGCWPA last week alone distributed over 1,000 hot meals to our communities and is not stopping there!

“HACP is grateful for the support provided by Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania and for their concern for Pittsburgh families during this time of crisis,” said Executive Director Caster D. Binion. “We are continually humbled by the ongoing support provided by our nonprofit partners and the local business community and extend our sincere gratitude to BGCWPA, MedExpress, South Side BBQ and an entire Pittsburgh community that understands that we’re all in this together.”

Not only did community members walk away with hot meals, but also received children's books, snacks and activity boxes that include kid-friendly projects and supplies including sidewalk chalk, crayons, jump rope and activity sheets to help children stay physically and mentally active during the shelter-at-home order.

Is your family in need of a cleaning & hygiene bucket, meals, an art/activity kit, or a "Growing Hope" STEAM kit free of charge? Fill out our family needs request form.
