MyWay Mobile Storage thrilled to join the REALTORS® Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh in their second 2020 Community Service Committee’s Daily Bread event

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES, December 2, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- MyWay Mobile Storage was thrilled to join the REALTORS^® Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (RAMP) in their Community Service Committee’s second Daily Bread event of 2020. The early November event was focused on serving lunch to those experiencing food insecurities because of homelessness or under-employment. The food is served out of the kitchen at the New Hope Methodist Church on the North Side. Thanks to a Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS^® Century of Service grant for local REALTOR^® associations, the RAMP Community Service Committee was able to hire a food truck, “Carnivores” from the Pub at 333 in Oakmont to provide the food. RAMP Community Service Committee volunteers distributed meals to 120 people in a COVID-safe manner. The day prior the volunteers stuffed bags with condiments, napkins, and plasticware. On the day of the event volunteers packed the bags with the delicious lunches from the Carnivores food truck and distributed the bagged lunches to the attendees.

“We always really loved to get out in the community and give back, but it’s been especially important this year—2020 has been such a hard year for so many people in our community. The Daily Bread program (formally known as the Northside Congregate Feeding Program) provides a crucial service and we are pleased to be able to volunteer for them,” said Michelle Schocker, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway. “It has been different this year with carry-out only and social distancing because of coronavirus,” Schocker continued, “but now more than ever we need to help our neighbors.”

Ed Sickmund, MyWay Mobile Storage Market Owner and RAMP Affiliate member said, “Helping those who may be experiencing food insecurity continues to be even more important during this coronavirus crisis.” Sickmund continued, “Everyone loved the food truck menu: burgers, hotdogs, fries, and soups.”

“The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank estimates that before the pandemic more than 14 percent of our community experienced food insecurity,” commented Stacey Reis, a RAMP Affiliate member with Home Warranty America. She continued, “Those numbers are much higher now. And we are just happy to be able to help.”

Michelle Senko, a PPM Realty agent added, “The Daily Bread program does a terrific job, together with other feeding programs on the Northside, making sure hot meals are available every day of the week. They’ve made the necessary adjustments—carry-out only and social distancing in the kitchen and for food pick-up—to keep everyone safe.”

Emily Platts, a Howard Hanna agent, noted, “Food insecurity, homelessness, and under-employment have been challenges facing our neighbors all year, every year. My Howard Hanna colleague, Preston Moore, and I are happy to do our small part.”
