During the months of November and December 2020 the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank will hold drive-up food distributions to provide individuals and families with at least 50 pounds of food in one or more pre-packed boxes.

Anyone is eligible for food. There is no required proof of eligibility.

Each household must complete a reservation to receive food. Your information will only be used to provide you food and help us improve your service.

To make a reservation, go online to https://www.pittsburghfoodbank.org/get-help/drive-up/ or call the Food Bank at 412-460-3663, ext. 456.

Reservations open 4 weeks before each event and close at 5 p.m. the day before the distribution.

Every year the City of Pittsburgh issues a press release with information on Trick or Treating date and times. This year’s release includes guidelines for the COVID pandemic.

See the press release here. It is also quoted below:

PITTSBURGH, PA (October 5, 2020) The City of Pittsburgh welcomes upcoming trick-or-treating this Halloween but urges residents to follow safety protocols during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

The official trick-or-treating hours will be 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, but following guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention many behaviors will have to change this year. 

Residents are urged to: 

• Trick-or-treat only with family members 
• Wear cloth facemasks as well as Halloween masks 
• Carry hand sanitizer 
• Distribute candy by leaving it outside, and not have in-person and face-to-face interactions at the door 
• Follow social distancing on sidewalks, and when approaching homes where others are getting candy 
• Not attend indoor costume parties 

Like any other year, motorists are asked to be especially vigilant on Halloween night, decrease speeds and increase awareness of trick-or-treating children and families.
