PITTSBURGH RECEIVES GRANT FROM NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES FOR SUMMER AND AFTERSCHOOL MEAL PROGRAMS

The National League of Cities is awarding Pittsburgh a $50,000 grant to create programs providing children with afterschool and summer meals.

Using the NLC grant, the city hopes to build visibility, drive participation, promote a healthy relationship with food, and broaden awareness among families who qualify for meals programs but are not currently enrolled. By introducing attractive programming, and through an aggressive citywide campaign, the city of Pittsburgh will increase the number of children participating in Summer and Afterschool Meals programs.
