The Food Pantry Advisors are asking those who can to donate dishes to the Northside Common Ministries Food Pantry as Passover and Easter approach.

Donations can be made to NCM, 1601 Brighton Rd., or can be sent directly to the food pantry by using NCM Amazon Wish List.

Jay Poliziani, director of NCM, said that boxed side dishes are always in demand as the food pantry does not receive many of those items from the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

The Food Pantry Advisors is a group of volunteers who are committed to helping the food pantry at Northside Common Ministries become more sustainable.

To volunteer, determine food drop-offs, ask about donations, or learn more about how to help, contact FPA by email at foodpantryadvisors@gmail.com, or visit their Facebook page or website.
