Pittsburgh Food Resources
- Greenfield PTO
- Nov 9
- 6 min read
With the current government shutdown and uncertainty around SNAP benefits, we wanted to make our community aware of local resources for free food. There are many locations in the Pittsburgh area stepping up to help, and we will periodically update this list as we hear of more opportunities.
The PTO is also available to help with urgent, critical needs. Please visit our request page.
