Church to begin food distribution
The hungry in Butler will have a new place to go for food come Saturday when Orchard Hill Church, 120 Walker Ave., starts a drive-through food distribution from 9 to 11 a.m. in the church parking lot.
Pastor Brady Randall said Orchard Hill Butler, part of a three-church community that also has locations in Wexford and the Strip District in Pittsburgh, is partnering with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to distribute groceries to those in need on the last Saturday of the month.
Vehicles of food distribution recipients will be directed through the Orchard Hill parking lot to pick up the boxes of food.
“We're calling it a food distribution, drive-through on the last Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.,” Randall said. “People can come right through the church parking lot and get a box of food — 30 pounds of dry goods and fresh produce — put right into their vehicles.”
The food comes from the Pittsburgh food bank. There is no need to make an appointment or register to receive food. Randall said recipients have to fill out a page of basic information for the food bank.
