Excerpt:
In spring of 2025, PCNA funding helped install orchards throughout Pittsburgh: Waisenhaus Park, bringing green space and fresh food access to a historically underserved neighborhood; Millvale Community Orchard, helping transform flood- and fire-damaged lots into a hub for education and food access; Mission Agape, supporting families in one of Pittsburgh’s most food-insecure neighborhoods; Rankin Orchard, revitalizing a borough with limited green space and high poverty rates; and Turtle Creek, creating access to fresh produce in a small borough where one in five residents lives below the poverty line.
“These trees will play a pivotal role in our mission to combat food insecurity,” said Kelly Doyle, orchard steward at Mission Agape. “By providing fresh, nutritious fruit and nuts, they enhance the sustainability of our food bank’s offerings and the well-being of those we serve.”
Furthering its greening efforts, PCNA held its third annual tree-planting event at Hilltop Urban Farm in Pittsburgh, the largest Giving Grove orchard in the city. Around 40 employees joined partners from The Giving Grove and Tree Pittsburgh to plant trees, maintain the orchard and remove invasive weeds.
As part of the event, PCNA presented an additional $5,000 donation on-site to The Giving Grove.
