#BurghProud: Penguins, Pirates, Steelers team together to host Thanksgiving meal distribution
Pittsburgh’s three major professional sports franchises will team together Tuesday outside PNC Park to host a #BurghProud Thanksgiving meal distribution event to families in need.
The Penguins, Pirates and Steelers are joining together in partnership with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and supported by Giant Eagle to provide frozen turkeys and boxes of food from 10 a.m. until noon in the Mazeroski Way cul-de-sac at PNC Park.
The distribution involves a no-contact drive-thru pick up adhering to social distancing protocols. Individuals will be asked to stay in their cars as food is loaded into their vehicle by staff and volunteers.
Those who wish to donate a financial contribution are encouraged to visit pittsburghfoodbank.org. For future distributions, families in need are encouraged to visit a local food pantry and check the Food Bank’s website and social media channels.
