Bike to Feed Families: Food Drive Delivered By Bike

This was sent to us by one of the organizers – not only do they have one fine looking event flier but they have put together a really neat event that shows off Pittsburgh and supports the Greater Pittsburgh Community Foodbank.

 

Bring your donations for the food bank and meet at the The Pump House (880 E. Waterfront Dr. Munhall, PA) then the group will hop on the bike trail and ride to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in Duquesne.

The ride is suitable for all levels of cyclists.

The food bank is most in need of:

  • High fiber cereal
  • Canned beans
  • Canned tuna & salmon in water
  • Canned vegetables
  • Diapers & toilet tissue

The organizers have requested that you not bring items in glass.  This pretty poster was created by Joe Mruk.

Blues for Food 2011

I would make some joke about this being a great cure for the winter blues – but since it is spring like weater outside – I will spare you the bad jokes and get to the point.

6.5 hours of live blues music and it is all for a good cause.

The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank knows that 12 months is along time to wait for the next annual blues fest which is held during the summer.  So they bring you a little mid winter break of blues.

$10 gets you in the door – all of the money goes to the food bank and you can spend sunday afternoon listening to Eugene and the Nightcrawlers…
