Christmas Day at Pitt
At this year’s annual Christmas Day at Pitt dinner, more than 200 Pitt and Sodexo volunteers served over 2,300 meals to individuals and families in need, as well as some international students. The Pitt event, in partnership with Sodexo and the Salvation Army, is the largest such event in the region. Pitt staff and faculty also donated some 500 holiday gifts for children and over 1,000 gift bags filled with winter hats, gloves and other essentials. Members of several Pitt athletic teams helped with wrapping and organizing the gifts.

The holiday event attracts some volunteers year after year. One such volunteer is Renny Clark, at right, who retired as vice chancellor and special assistant to the chancellor in 2015.
