UPG wins competition
Pitt-Greensburg collected more than 1,400 pounds of non-perishable food to claim another win in the annual food drive among UPG, Seton Hill University and Westmoreland Community College.
A total of 1,967 pounds of food was donated to the food bank by these institutions.
During the past six years, Pitt-Greensburg has donated more than 5,000 pounds of food to the food bank as a result of this event.
Said Brian Root, UPG assistant director of housing and residence life: “Our students, faculty and staff are always so supportive of this initiative each year. We’ve watched our food collection double since we started this back in 2009.”
Food will be distributed through the Westmoreland County Food Bank.
