The Plum Food Pantry
The Plum Food Pantry is a
non-profit organization of concerned, caring
volunteers. We
are committed to providing individuals and
families in Plum Borough with nutritional food and
grocery products.
The Pantry works with the
Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank and local schools,
churches, scout troops and the US Post Office to
collect food, paper products, and personal care
items for distribution to those in need.
