Northside Common Ministries is participating in the walk to benefit our Northside Food Pantry, with a goal of raising $1,600 to support one week of food delivery to nourish our neighbors in need.

One hundred percent of your fundraising goes directly to purchasing food from the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to stock our shelves. We hope to see you on May 30th to support!

Big news for our food distributions! Starting on our May 26 and 27 distribution days, we’ll once again be providing milk and eggs! These two items have been highly requested by our community.

While frozen meat options are still limited for now, we’re excited to bring back some fresh essentials and hope to welcome even more neighbors back during distribution days! Stay tuned for more information and updates, here on our page.
