Produce to People
Our Great Grouping is committed to providing up to 10 volunteers in Homewood the second Saturday of each month (except December, when we serve the first Saturday of December) to pre-pack, set up and distribute over 35 - 50 pounds of fresh food to 500 families in need.
Produce to People is the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank’s largest direct food distribution program. Volunteers must be 12+ years of age to participate in this activity. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Closed toe shoes are required. Volunteers meet at Faison School at 7430 Tioga Street, 15208, in Homewood at 8:30 a.m. and work until clean up is completed at 12:15 p.m. Carpooling is available. Advance registration is required.

During the Covid 19 Pandemic:
Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank has cancelled all Produce to People distribution events and is not accepting group volunteers in any capacity, including at the repack center, at this time. They send periodic emails to past volunteers individually to inform them of what they are doing to try to meet needs, solicit donations, and survey them about strategies they are considering (such as enlisting individuals to drive deliveries to homes within neighborhoods where Produce to People served - not implemented at this time). Additionally, no one 65+ years of age may volunteer since this population is considered an at risk group. The Food Bank is currently limiting direct assistance to the community to drive up emergency distribution of prepacked boxes at specific sites and times they announce and to supplying area food pantries and school children lunch bag distributions occurring through area schools and pantries. Saints John & Paul will communicate directly with scheduled volunteers to inform them about their service.2020 Dates:
