Hi!! My name is Melissa or some people know me by my Instagram @missytasty . I have lived in Western PA for 5-ish years now, I moved here during the height of the pandemic. Food became a way for me to connect and explore my new community. Slowly I began cooking a bit more to help relax from the stressors of working in the human services field.

The last 3 years I have become more familiar with the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. They aid re-entrants in assisting them with their community needs. They offer incredible programs and even assist in connecting individuals to other local organizations.

Food is important. Not only in the aspect of it providing nutrients. But also in the aspect of culture and community. The Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank works to ensure that anyone who needs a meal can get one, meeting the needs of neighbors throughout the County. Last year I was able to raise enough to provide 624 meals to my neighbors. WOAH. Hoping to do the same this year!

Description

With your support, we can ensure that none of our neighbors go to bed hungry. For every $1 donated, the Food Bank can provide up to 3 nutritious meals for our neighbors in need. Every dollar brings us one step closer to a hunger-free community! Thank you in advance for your support.
