Access to Food During COVID-19 Pandemic
A Special Message from Sr. Rosemary Donley, PhD, APRN, FAAN
Jacques Laval Endowed Chair in Justice for Vulnerable Populations
As you know we have significant problems, the spread of a virus for which there is no vaccine or specific, effective treatment, concern about testing, the proper distribution of essential equipment and supplies, and the impact on the economy of stay at home policies and the closure of businesses. Vulnerable people are more at risk of infection but also of significant economic hardship. Even in good times, we all know people who are working several minimum wage jobs and struggle between paychecks.
Mindful of the theme of McGinley-Rice 11: The Face of the Person who is Hungry, we are compiling a list of sources of food available in the greater Pittsburgh area.
Thank you and stay safe,
Sr. Rosemary Donley, PhD, APRN, FAAN
