Students and staff from Shaler High School held a collection for our food pantry.

A large portion of what we distribute to those in need is donated. And holding a collection is a great way to help.

You can hold a food or sharing project collection any time to help individuals and families in northern Allegheny County. And Students can get volunteer hours!
