Greater Pittsburgh community Food Bank prepping for big summer of distribution
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – This summer, around the Pittsburgh region at The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, there is a lot going on and there is even a new face to meet.
On Friday, the Greater Pittsburgh community Food Bank announced a large, first of its kind, summer distribution effort in Butler County.
Butler County is unique this year in that it is the only county in the food bank service area without any partners hosting summer youth café locations for kids.
These youth café sites provide federally funded meals to kids 18-and-under at no cost.
“Families report spending up to $200 more per kid, per month, when their kids are at home for the summer. In Pennsylvania, almost 1,000,000 kids eat lunch every single day. And so, there is a real need when those school meals go away to have summer distributions and summer youth café sights start up to make sure that those kids have access to nutrition over the summer,” said Kelsey Gross, director of child nutrition programs at GPCF
In addition to the work being done in Butler County, the food bank has also started opening their summer youth café sights around other parts of the region, and to help spread the word about the cafes and summer nutrition is Spike, their new mascot.
“We are so excited to unveil Spike, our rocking pineapple,” Gross said. “This year is our first year with a really awesome mascot that will be out at lots of our summer youth café sites, just making sure kids are having a great time and going out to our kick offs as well.”

She’s also been on Wilson’s mind with her looks off the field all season like with her curvy black dress, and her “lioness” fit that had the QB1 joking about having baby No. 5.

Steelers Re-Sign Former Defensive Standout
The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that they are reuniting with safety Eric Rowe by signing him to their practice squad.
The moves comes after Rowe worked out for the Steelers alongside Marquise Blair last week.
After Pittsburgh released Terrell Edmunds ahead of its Week 10 matchup with the Washington Commanders, there was a clear need for additional safety depth. While Rowe won’t immediately become a member of the 53-man roster, there’s certainly a path towards that resolution down the line.
Rowe joined the Steelers’ practice squad late last season on Nov. 20, 2023. He eventually found his way into a major role as they secured a playoff spot, starting each of the team’s final three games while logging 155 snaps.
The 32-year-old also earned 57 reps in Pittsburgh’s Super Wild Card Weekend meeting with the Buffalo Bills. Rowe was not brought back during the offseason, and remained on the open market until he signed with the Steelers on Tuesday morning.
He began his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles as a second-round pick in 2015, though he was traded to the New England Patriots just a year later.
The Utah product spent three seasons there, winning Super Bowls LI and LIII in the process, before becoming a member of the Miami Dolphins in 2019 and staying there through 2022. Rowe was rostered by the Carolina Panthers in 2023, though he was let go at final cuts that August.
