Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”
In this episode, you'll hear from a few different folks from a few different places…all of whom are dedicated to building community and supporting community members of all ages.
First, Tressa sits down with an awesome mother/daughter duo, Alice and Violet Gabriel, who volunteer together at their community garden, the Garden of Etna. Part of the mission of this Garden is to grow produce for the Bread of Life Food Pantry.
Then, Tressa heads to McKees Rocks for an exciting and inspiring announcement from The Josh Gibson Foundation, The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation, and Under Armour, and chats with folks from there.
Also mentioned in the episode are 3 local businesses who are helping to get food to families who desperately need it: Richard Bazzy and the team at Schults Ford, The Corcoran Collective, and Secretos Pittsburgh.
