The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank plans to have enough food on hand Wednesday for 1,500 vehicles during a drive-up food giveaway at Pittsburgh International Airport, the organization announced Monday.
The event is scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m. in airport parking lots.
“The airport is an ideal location,” Lisa Scales, the food bank’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “It will be one of our largest distributions to date.”
Staff will provide food only to people in vehicles and limit two boxes of groceries per vehicle. Vehicles will not be permitted to arrive before 10 a.m.
People are prohibited from parking on highway berms anywhere near the airport and must remain in vehicles at all times. The car’s transmission must be in “park” while volunteers load boxes into trunks and back seats.
The Allegheny County Police will be on hand for traffic control.
