Farell Finch

These are certainly unprecedented times and it’s amazing to see so many local companies come together to support our most vulnerable neighbors in this crisis. But there’s more work to do. That’s why Farell Finch is committed to serving our neighbors and small businesses in our community to help them get through to the other side of this historic pandemic. This week Farell Finch is supporting an organization very close to our hearts. Our founder, Andrew De Silva, spends most M...onday evenings at Urban Impact Foundation. Urban Impact is an organization committed to serving the youth of Pittsburgh’s North Side. The kids in the program face food insecurities, broken homes and threat of violence (in normal times). So just imagine what life is like for them now. Please consider joining the Farell Finch and Urban Impact team to support our neighborhood kids this Easter. We are teaming up with Chef Claudy Pierre of Arnold's Tea on the North Side to bring delicious meals to tables in need! Just a small $10 donation can put a meal on the table and my hope is that when the world returns to normal you visit Arnold’s Tea too (for coffee, lunch, meetings)! They have it all. Please consider giving what you can to ensure we feed as many as our neighbors as possible this Sunday. Together, we can make an enormous impact. You can venmo me @Andrew-DeSilva-1 or paypal [email protected] or 412-425-7932. Stay healthy!

At Farell Finch, we are doing our best to help our small business friends during this trying time. If you work in downtown Pittsburgh, you already know that Market Street Grocery is THE go-to for groceries, amazing lunches, and fantastic wines! Our friend and Market Street owner, Dave Priselac, is partnering with Farell Finch to give a bottle of wine to each of the first 40 people who follow Farell Finch on LinkedIn, and Farell Finch founder Andrew De Silva on Instagram (@fsq...uared24). If you already follow both, you can enter as one of the first 40 people by including a comment below. Andrew will deliver the wine to your door this weekend (within a 6-mile radius to Downtown only). Don’t worry; he'll practice proper social distancing! If you live in Cranberry, sorry, you’re too far away - but we will deliver to a nearby friend of your choosing! Please comment below to tell me you’re now following or that you already follow both! Thinking of a small business you want to support? We’ll be visiting another local favorite next week! www.farellfinch.com
