Pittsburgh is adding free “Grab and Go” food distribution sites for children and seniors starting June 15 and continuing through August because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and closing of city schools.
New locations for kids will be Ammon, Jefferson and Magee recreation centers, Moore Park and Schenley Park at Anderson Playground.
Pittsburgh Parks and Recreation Department staff will provide breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The city will continue providing free meals for kids during the same hours at current locations: Arlington, Paulson and Warrington recreation centers and the Homewood and Westside Salvation Army sites.
Seniors can pick up meals from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at senior centers in Beechview, Greenfield and the West End. Free meal distribution will continue during the same dates and hours at centers in Glen Hazel, Hazelwood, Homewood, Lawrenceville and Sheraden and the Southside Market House.
