Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to distribute food Tuesday at Big Butler Fairgrounds

Boxes of food are loaded into cars at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank’s emergency drive-up food distribution site at Pittsburgh International Airport on April 22, 2020.

The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank plans to serve food to about 1,500 families at a drive-up distribution event at Big Butler Fairgrounds on Tuesday.

The event is a partnership between the food bank, Alliance for Nonprofit Resources, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office and Friends of the Bantam Jeep Association.

The food bank will distribute two 25-pound boxes of food per vehicle, regardless of the number of people inside, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Only those in a vehicle will be served — no walk-ups allowed. Individuals must stay in their car at all times, unlocking the trunk or back seat for volunteers to load food.

The sheriff’s office will assist with traffic control.

The fairgrounds is located at 1127 New Castle Road, Prospect, PA 16052.

Those who need food but don’t have access to a car are encouraged to visit pittsburghfoodbank.org/gethelp for information on other assistance options.
