Every good parent, no matter their income, worries about whether their child is getting enough to eat. For the parents of the one in five children living in poverty in Pittsburgh, that worry is all-consuming.
Families who are having trouble putting food on the table now have a number of options to help make sure their child is getting the nutrition they need to keep them healthy and happy all summer long.
