The Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is holding a one-day only donation drive, Match Day, where they will match all donations (up to $300,000). This is a really nice idea and hopefully you spare a few dollars to help those who need it in Pittsburgh. With Thanksgiving roughly a month away, give thanks and give back to the Pittsburgh community.
If you visit the Match Day website, you may end up seeing this:
Due to the enormous demand to participate in Match Day, our site is temporarily at capacity.
It looks like Match Day is already a huge success. If you want to donate, just try again later.
But once you're inside, FoodBurgh has listed 4 simple steps to make your donation:
1. Create an account on the PittsburghGives site.
2. Search or browse for a charity you want to support
3. Look over the efficiency/volume data provided by the site
4. Click donate now and submit your contribution.
And if you're interested in taking your donation even farther, why not try to volunteer? The Food Bank says it needs thousands of volunteers each year and you can do more than just stock food. You can "work special events, sort food at our warehouse, harvest vegetables at a farm, serve on a committee, or help out at any of our 380 agencies – food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters." If you're interested in volunteering, and I'm sure they'd take somebody even for a day, visit the Food Bank's "Get Involved" section on their website.
