Volunteers with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank were spending Martin Luther King Jr. Day serving communities that need a helping hand.Watch the video above.It's part of the food bank's Food Justice is Social Justice initiative.Beth Burrell, who works for the food bank, said, "Our community has made so much growth and improvement in equality over the years, but there's still so much work to be done and all of the volunteers who are here today are here today in recognition of that."Many of the volunteers at the warehouse in Duquesne are from organizations that work to promote equality.Sumedha Nagpal represents the Hindu Jain Temple and said, "To best help everyone, you have to do it hands-on, you have to be there to help everyone."A dozen volunteers came from the Hindu Jain Temple. "The Indian community comes from a country where we have seen a lot of poverty and hunger, and in our culture and our scriptures it is very big to come out and help other people and it is only human to help the hungry," Nagpal said.Burrell said many Black and Brown communities don't have access to grocery stores, especially ones that carry healthy food. She said across the country one in four Black families struggle with food insecurity, compared to one in eleven White families.She said, "The need for us for us to really focus on creating equality in food access is vital so these volunteers who are with us today are providing such a great service to the community." The temple is not just volunteering their time, they are helping bring more money into the food bank, which means fewer hungry people.If the food bank raises $10,000 on Monday, Hindu Jain Temple will match that, bringing in $20,000 to the food bank.
