PITTSBURGH — Efforts continue to bolster food pantries ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Several area lawmakers are hosting an event Tuesday. Dubbed the “Blue Plate Special,” it benefits Hunger-Free Pennsylvania.
“The SNAP nonpayment issue has been dealt with, so I think a lot of people think we’re OK and don’t have to worry about local food pantries, but a lot of them have 25% more families coming than this time last year,” said Rep. Abigail Salisbury (D-Allegheny County).
The event will begin at 6 p.m. at the Bricklayers Union Hall in Pittsburgh, and will feature a blues band.
