The campaign, the largest of its type in the United States, collected 5.2 million units of food weighing 2.1 million lbs. The food represents $3.8 million in direct support to some 100,000 needy people in southwestern Pennsylvania. Pitt was among 425 companies and organizations that participated in the Scouting for Food campaign.
