Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank will hold another drive-up distribution at its Duquesne headquarters Monday.

The distribution, which runs from noon to 3 p.m., will be able to accommodate up to 1,000 vehicles. Each vehicle will receive two boxes.

The food bank is asking attendees to begin lining up no sooner than 11 a.m. via the intersection at Route 837 and South Linden Street. Vehicles arriving before 11 a.m. may be turned away and told to return at that time.

As with its other drive-up distributions, the food bank is asking attendees to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Stay in your vehicle at all times, except when using the outdoor restroom facilities placed along Linden Street.

• After pulling into “distribution row,” please put your vehicle in park and unlock your trunk or backseat for food to be loaded

• Attendees will not be required to fill out a registration form in order to receive food

The food bank’s drive-up distributions have seen hundreds waiting in long lines for food boxes. The distributions will continue every Monday at the Duquesne headquarters until further notice as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
