As of November, due to federal shutdown food banks are going to be bearing the brunt of eliminated federal programs that provide essential nutrition to millions of Americans.
For the past year I have been volunteering with second harvest food bank of northwestern PA and due to my experiences I strongly urge everyone to support these pillars of the community in any way possible.
These institutions deliver food to families, senior citizens, veterans, immigrant communities, and children who have no idea where their next meal will come from. State funding will hopefully bolster these non-profits until the federal government decides starving citizens are worth feeding again.
I am running the Pittsburgh marathon in May 2026 on the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank's team in an effort to raise awareness, support, and funds for the greater Pittsburgh community food bank.
This network continually seeks ways to optimize meal nutrition, minimize barriers to access, and collaborate with hospital systems to facilitate qualified patients' entry into the system for the help they need.
If you would like to support the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank through my race fundraiser I personally vouch for their mission and commitment. Otherwise, I urge you to stand up and give your time, food, money, or even simply your compassion to the local food bank. Help us eliminate an extremely preventable epidemic of malnutrition and starvation.
