Behind the Scenes at the Food Pantry

We'll be wrapping up our Heinz Endowments Spotlight this week -- but not to worry, there are still several posts to come! Today's spotlight gives a behind-the-scenes look at EECM's Food Pantry, thanks to a video of one of our volunteers.

EECM's Food Pantry is one of the busiest in Allegheny County, serving more than 450 families each month. We couldn't begin to help this many people without the support of a dedicated team of volunteers.

More than 25 volunteers each week donate more than 70 hours of their time to the Food Pantry, sorting food donations, packing bags for distribution, interviewing clients, and assisting with the actual food distribution.

In this video you'll meet Trish, one of our faithful volunteers, who will walk you through some of her regular duties at the Pantry.
