Join fellow Episcopalians from across the Diocese at our next volunteer workday at the Repack Center of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. We'll be working in the Repack Center at GPCFB's main Duquesne warehouse facility (1 North Linden St, Duquesne, PA 15110) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, November 9. We'll assist the GPCFB repack team by inspecting, sorting, and repacking donated or purchased groceries. The exact project will depend on their inventory at the time. In the past we've had most enjoyable times repacking food ranging from cereals to oranges.

GPCFB serves as a central repository for over 350 local food pantries and distribution centers across 11 counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. Because it works with such large volumes in its certified green facility, GPCFB's operations are efficient, economical and impressive.

If you would like to get in the Thanksgiving spirit by volunteering for this rewarding activity sponsored by the diocesan Social Justice and Outreach Committee, contact Jerry Stephenson (JJmestephenson@verizon.net or 412-367-1032) by November 4 to reserve your slot. Volunteers must be 12 years of age or older and be able to stand for two or more consecutive hours. We expect the 40 available slots to be reserved quickly.
