Low Income Turkey Day Supports

Submitted by memeking10101 t3_yqr97q in pittsburgh

Hello fellow yinzers, does anyone know any services that provide free or low cost dinners to families? I have a client who is in McKees Rocks looking for a service that could deliver a meal for 2 to them or a place they could go to pick up a premade or easy assembly meal. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Jubilee kitchen (uptown) will have a Thanksgiving lunch (dine in or take out) 11am-12pm. 2005 Wyandotte st. 412-261-5417

Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church (South hills) will have take out or delivery (5 mile radius) Thanksgiving meal. 3104 west liberty Ave. 412-531-9363

Also Pittsburgh police have an annual Stuffed with Love event of providing delivered meals on thanksgiving day to those in need. Anyone can request this by contacting their local zone officer. Deadline is Nov. 18

The Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank has a Turkey Fund (supported by KDKA and donors) that provides a turkey and money for Thanksgiving dinner. You can call 412.460.3663 x655 for more info.

For those of those interested in donating - you can donate at any local PNC branch $50 or more, they match that amount up to a total of $75k.

Yes, I'm sure it's a tax write off and free advertising, but seriously the best thing you can do to support the food bank is a cash donation, and any matching donation is putting food in people's bellies.

$50 may be a little steep - at my work we usually pool money together, even the most miserly person will throw $20, and then donate all at once. For a good cause and in the spirit of the holiday.

Edit : to add a source since it's hard to find an online text reference for Thanksgiving 2022

They only throw in the $20 so you leave them the fuck alone. group contributions from offices should be banned because one could argue that they're coerced into giving.

Not suitable for your client, but anyone out by Mckeesport please reach out to Kelly at the Mckeesport Agape Center if you need support.
