Christopher’s Kitchen provides free food for families and caregivers who remain by loved ones in the hospital or extended care facility.
Since 2017, our fully volunteer-based organization has been committed to providing food for families in the hospital caring for their children. The last thing families who have a child in the hospital should worry about is food. Our goal is to eliminate the need for families to leave the facility to feed themselves, as well as the financial burden of a meal.
We do this by maintaining fully stocked food pantries at hospitals in the Pittsburgh area and providing take-home meal bags. The food provided by Christopher’s Kitchen at these locations is available to anyone who needs it, regardless of economic status. If you need a meal, we have one for you - no questions asked.

In addition, we also provide 'Grab and Go' meal bags for families to take home when they leave the facility.

We provide seven (7) satellite locations with bags of free food based on need, consisting of four meals for a family of four.
