Concordia Missions partnered with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (GPCFB) throughout August to help address food insecurity across our region. Employees and residents got involved with food and fund drives and hands-on volunteer service. When we come together, we realize that those who face food insecurity are not a statistic, they are our neighbors.
Behind every number is a neighbor. With that in mind, here are a few numbers that tell the story of food insecurity in our region – and what can happen when a community comes together to help:
150
The approximate number of local families served at the Butler City Farmers’ Market on Aug. 25. Concordia employees and their family members worked alongside the GPCFB team to help ensure our neighbors had food to take home.
292,000
The number of neighbors – 1 in 8 people – experiencing food insecurity across GPCFB’s 11-county service area in southwestern Pennsylvania.
53 million
The number of meals distributed annually across southwestern Pennsylvania by GPCFB and its network of more than 1,000 agencies, partners and programs. Together, this network helps serve thousands of our neighbors each month.
1
The number of people it takes to make a change.
Whether it’s donating food, volunteering your time, sharing a resource or simply helping connect a neighbor with support, each of us can play a part.
