It’s an idea that not only helps restaurants deal with another shutdown but also provides food for people in need this winter.
Starting Monday, Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership and 412 Food Rescue joined forces to provide restaurants regular weekly income and bring free meals to people experiencing food insecurity.
The program is called Community Takeout and was created by 412 Food Rescue in May to support service industry workers during last spring’s red phase of covid-19 stay at home orders.
