With kids back in school, people returning to work, and football season back in full swing, it appears that some of life has returned to normal.
For many, though, life is still far from normal.
The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the Pittsburgh region, and the entire country, and one of the biggest side effects on the non-medical side has been food insecurity. People have lost their jobs, and while some are back to work, many are still dealing with unemployment and not knowing where their next meal will come from for their families.
That is the exact reason the Steelers partnered with Convoy of Hope for the third food distribution, this one in conjunction with Shell Polymers, who secured a truckload of food and supplies for over 1,000 families in Beaver County. The Steelers and Shell Polymers teamed up to distribute food and other relief supplies to families in need on Friday at a drive-thru distribution center at the Community College of Beaver County in Monaca. It was a no-contact distribution that followed all CDC and state health guidelines, but more so, provided hope for families in need.
"Shell Polymers is proud to partner with the Steelers in this endeavor to help our neighbors in need during this challenging time," said Michael Marr, Shell external relations advisor. "We thank the Community College of Beaver County for hosting the event, and we thank Convoy of Hope for bringing their philanthropic program and a truckload of food and supplies to Beaver County."
Steelers legends Chris Hoke and Arthur Moats were both on hand to help with preparing the food to be distributed and handing out the food to the families.
