We offer supplemental food and the supportive services needed to regain stability and self-sufficiency.

Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets of society or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different. Right now, hundreds of people right here in our community are struggling with hunger. They may have recently lost a job or may be disabled and unable to work. They are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet.

And that's why we're here. The Squirrel Hill Food Pantry is the food pantry for all those in the 15217 zip code area who qualify for food assistance and also serves those outside the 15217 zip code area who qualify for food assistance and require kosher food.

With the assistance of an army of committed community volunteers and the support of a cadre of donors, we are privileged to serve those who do not have enough resources to feed themselves and their families.

Food Pantry Hours:
Monday - Thursday 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM
