Request a Meal
Holiday Meals Pittsburgh will provide single-serving meals during Thanksgiving and Christmas to anyone in need throughout the Pittsburgh region. Our meals include ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, and pie. We do not require personal information to receive a meal, and we can accommodate family-sized meal orders. All meals will be delivered by a volunteer driver and can be completely contactless.
Due to overwhelming demand this holiday season, our meal request form has closed. However, we have a list of food resources for those in need in Pittsburgh and surrounding counties. Please email us below to receive this list of resources.
Donate
Donations are vital to the success of Holiday Meals Pittsburgh. Through our donors, we can provide meals to thousands of our fellow Pittsburghers during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Your donation means more than just a hot meal; it offers connection, compassion, and a sense of community to those facing food insecurity. Each meal shared becomes an act of goodwill, reminding recipients that they are not alone during the holiday season. By contributing, you help create moments of joy, turning a simple meal into a powerful expression of care and support for families in need throughout Pittsburgh.
Volunteer
Holiday Meals Pittsburgh is 100% volunteer-driven. Each holiday, these meals are made possible by the generosity of our friends, our neighbors, and our community.
There are many ways to get involved.
-
Drive! Do a meal delivery (many families make this a tradition together)
-
Donate! (We are 100% donation-funded; every little bit helps!)
-
Create! (Along with each meal, we include a message for the recipient. This can be a thoughtful card or a child's hand-drawn turkey; these notes are a great way to get young kids involved.)
