Yesterday marked one month since the Dormont Car Cruise took over the Dormont Pool Parking Lot.

The event raised a total of $1,519 for the Dormont Free Pantry on Sept. 27. Former Dormont councilmember John Moore of MooreLaw PLLC presented a $1,000 donation check to Mike Kerns, volunteer with the Dormont Free Pantry, along with Dormont Councilmember Shawn Melvin. The addition of cash donations and a carload of non-perishable food from attendees benefits the Free Pantry in its mission to provide to all in need, regardless of income or residency.

The cruise was a success, featuring over 80 cars and a showing from the University of Pittsburgh Formula SAE team. Thanks to John Moore, Shawn Fenk and Jezreel Konstantinos for their efforts, and stay tuned for announcements on the next cruise!

You don't have to wait for an event to support the free pantry. Visit their website for information on how you can help - or be helped: https://www.dormontcdc.org/dormont-free-pantry
