THE Y IS SUPPORT, WHERE BARRIERS TO ACCESSING HEALTHY AND NUTRITIOUS FOODS ARE REMOVED.

Free Mini Food Pantries located at the Laughlin Memorial Library in Ambridge, Pathway Church in Crescent, Fair Oaks Fire Department, Henle Park in Leetsdale, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Sewickley and Sewickley Community Center, regularly stocked with non-perishable food and personal care products for anyone in need, no questions asked. The zero-barrier access point to food and personal care products helps fill the gaps between paychecks. In 2022, the Sewickley Valley YMCA volunteers restocked over 7,000 pounds of food.

You can help too!  Contact Amy Richardson at 412-741-9622 ext. 108 or at arichardson@sewickleyymca.org if you are interested in volunteering to help restock a pantry, host a food collection or you can donate high-demand food items such as 

  • Crackers and/or pretzels
  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Pancake mix and syrup
  • Pasta, rice, dry cereal
  • Canned meats, potatoes, and fruits
