Christmas Day at Pitt was again a big success, with more than 200 volunteers from the Pitt community serving up food and gifts on Christmas Day at Litchfield Towers Market Central. The event is organized by the Office of Community and Government Relations with its community partner, the Salvation Army.
Sodexo made more than 2,000 meals and more than 1,000 sets of hats, scarves and gloves — collected on campus during December — were given to adults. Children received more than 500 gifts and donations were given to FOCUS and Macedonia FACE in the Hill District and the Community Empowerment Association in Homewood.
This is the 13th year for the event, which benefits people in need in the community.
