With your help, we distributed more than 13 million pounds of product to 351 member agencies in the year 2000. We are a private nonprofit agency that relies on public support, NOT a government agency. Contributions from local individuals, corporations and foundations account for the largest percentage of our operating revenues. Without the assistance of hundreds of community volunteers, our staff would not be able to distribute more than one million pounds of food each month to agencies that help needy individuals. The majority of Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank s member agencies are located in Allegheny County.
Hunger exists in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
In Allegheny County, more than 85,000 individuals are using emergency food assistance services through the Food Bank s network of agencies. Throughout our service area more than 138,000 households are served.
