I have participated in the monthly distribution of Produce to People and I am very impressed by the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank's commitment to the individuals it serves. Prior to each distribution event, the volunteer co-ordinator sets the tone by reminding us of who our customers are and the importance of making each and every customer feel welcome so that she or he will return. A returning customer means a household that is helped; a customer who feels unwelcome may result in a child or adult going hungry.
The events, from the volunteer side, are well organized and the volunteers are given explicit instructions about what is expected.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
This dedication to making sure that individuals do not go hungry was exemplified when, after a busy evening of distributing food and cleaning up an individual arrived late- no matter, under the direction of the supervisor, the volunteers made sure that individual did not go away empty handed.
