Pittsburgh Hornets

On Saturday November 5^th the 98 Hornets volunteered for the Produce to People Program through Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.  Earlier in the season the team worked at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in Duquesne packing boxes that would ultimately be distributed to families in need.  This Saturday the team met at Holy Rosary School in Homewood where they were given the opportunity distribute the food themselves and see the end result of their previous hard work.  The morning began by packing bags of apples and other produce as well as setting up tables for the distribution of the food.  The food included many produce items, canned goods and frozen chicken.  The boys were given a variety of jobs ranging from keeping the tables stocked to handing out food to helping the recipients to their cars and unloading their boxes or carts.  The boys handled their jobs with the utmost respect and class.  When the day was done, they had distributed 24,000 pounds of food to over 400 families in need.  The morning was a tremendous success and everyone should be very proud of our team.
