On Sunday, February 8th (Yes, Super Bowl Sunday) 8 AM–12 PM, the Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church is hosting a Fill the Truck Food Drive to support our neighbors in need. Here is why it matters:
Food insecurity remains a serious challenge in our region:
- The Greater Community Food Bank reports record-high demand in 2025, with a 25% increase in food insecurity for the general population and 33% for children.
- 1 in 5 Pittsburgh children are food insecure. Additionally, 1 in 3 Black residents and 1 in 5 Hispanic residents experience food insecurity.
- High inflation, rising grocery costs, and the reduction of SNAP benefits are primary factors, forcing households to choose between food, utilities, and housing. It’s our neighbors and local families trying to make ends meet.
How you can help. There are 3 easy ways to contribute.
1) Donate items from your pantry: If you have extra non-perishable food, toiletries, or paper goods at home, please set them aside to donate.
2) Buy locally & drop off: Pick up a few extra items while shopping locally — supporting local businesses and help the cause!
3) Order from the Amazon wishlist: Click on the link below to have items delivered directly to the church. Please try to order by Wednesday, February 4, so donations arrive ahead of the event.
