The Market: A New Project for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank
Jennifer Stockdale • April 29, 2022
Today, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Foodbank held a ribbon cutting ceremony for its newest project, The Market, which will further help provide for a growing population of food-insecure families in the area.
The Market, which is a partnership with Pittsburgh region grocer Giant Eagle, is the Food Bank's on-site pantry that takes a holistic approach to serving people who need help with food while also serving as a learning lab to test new ideas and services before presenting them to the food assistance network. The Market will be open weekly Monday through Saturday and offers a grocery-style experience for those needing to supplement their food needs to choose the groceries that work best for their families.
GBU Life has been partnering with the Food Bank since need from the community spiked during the pandemic and is a proud sponsor of the Education Station. Located inside The Market, the Education Station is a space for the community to engage in classes on health and wellness, finances, customer service and more.
The Market also features a children's area, private registration room, Community Connections resource team and a Nutrition Kitchen which will offer cooking-related classes to both community members and member agencies.
