The EECM Food Pantry Needs Our Help!
Hundreds of people living in Pittsburgh’s East End
communities don’t know where their next meal is coming from. East End
Cooperative Ministries reaches out to all those who are experiencing the
pain and the desperation of hunger — from infants and children to a
growing number of seniors.
The Food Pantry is one of East End Cooperative
Ministries’ assistance programs for those in immediate need of food.
Right now, they are in desperate need of donations, but most especially
they need the following food donations: peanut butter, canned fruit and
tuna. An abundance of these basic staples can probably be found in your
own kitchen pantry. Please help if you can by leaving your food
donations in the baskets located throughout the church’s hallways.
In May, the “Food for the
Month” is soup. (Please see sidebar, right, to learn more about
the Food Pantry.)
Food Pantry Services
The Food Pantry is housed at East Liberty
Presbyterian Church and is open from 1 to 3 pm, Monday through Friday.
In addition to providing emergency groceries and supplies, volunteers
provide help with budgeting, information on assistance programs, and
access to social service agencies and other appropriate programs. Clergy
are available at the Food Pantry to offer spiritual support.
