We are proud to announce that Dollar Bank has chosen CISPAC as its nonprofit partner for the month of October with WPXI 11 Cares. COVID-19 has presented new challenges for many families across the Pittsburgh region as they adjust to living, working, and learning all under one roof. CISPAC is partnering with Dollar Bank and WPXI 11 Cares to ensure students have the tools necessary to succeed and thrive while learning remotely. Students with special needs, children without a stable home environment, and youth from many black and brown neighborhoods are disproportionately affected.

In addition to the produce distribution we posted below, the USDA will be distributing Farmers to Families boxes at the Sto-Rox Family Health Center this afternoon beginning at 3:30 p.m.!
