Weather forces cancellation of Charleroi food pantry distribution
The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank’s outdoor Charleroi distribution scheduled for Thursday has been canceled due to winter weather conditions.
Christa Johnson, communications specialist, said the food bank’s policy is to cancel an outdoor event when the temperature goes below 10 degrees, as the bitter cold could pose a health risk for staff, volunteers and those coming for the food.
The next outdoor distribution in Charleroi at the Chamber of Commerce parking lot will be from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Feb. 20.
Anyone in need of food can contact the call center at 412-460-3663, ext. 655, or find a local pantry with indoor food resources at pittsburghfoodbank.org.
The next outdoor distribution in Washington County is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Feb. 4 at the county fairgrounds.
