With assistance from the Salvation Army, Parkhurst Dining and Eat'n Park, the City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation distributed 4,611 meals to children and seniors last week, up from 2,813 the week before.

The surge in meal distribution was largely due to the Pittsburgh Public Schools being on spring break this week. Total meals distributed to children is 1,078. Total meals distributed to seniors is 1,813.
