Saturday Morning Produce Distribution Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | Pittsburgh, PA 15214

You will arrive at the location listed, parking is available in a parking lot or on street parking. We gather under the portico of the large high rise. Produce arrives from another group of volunteers. We unload the vehicles and organize the produce being delivered in a line starting at the glass doors and ending at the end/edge of the portico roof. We open and prep boxes of produce so that they are ready for clients and distribution which begins promptly at 9:30am. Approximately from 9:30am-10:30, clients and neighbors come through the line and are asked to take a certain number of each item per household. Example - 3 tomatoes per household and 1 bunch of bananas. We invite people to come through the line until all produce is gone. We break down boxes and clean up our trash and take them to the dumpster across the street. The 10:30 am ending is approximate. Sometimes we are done sooner and sometimes we stick around longer than that to give everything away. You would be participating in providing fresh and free produce to a community that is in a food desert. We have officially been doing this for a year and it's a great program to log community service hours, get to know people that live in Pittsburgh, and participate in a program that is working to provide fresh and healthy produce to a community in the Pittsburgh area.
