Food Podcast: 10-year-old honored for work with Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank

On this week’s episode of the Food Podcast presented by Clearview Federal Credit Union on the TribLive Podcast Network, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (The Food Bank) talks with Makayla Alaquiva.

The Food Bank relies on donations, volunteers and advocates to serve the community. And one young lady has stepped up to the plate at only 10 years old. Makayla Alaquiva was added to the Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania 18 under Eighteen class for the way she advocates for the Food Bank.

“I love to express how kindness should be shown and how kindness should be expressed to other people when it’s needed the most,” Alaquiva said.

Alaquiva is the youngest person to receive the honor this year. She says her mother works for the Food Bank and has helped her learn more about food insecurity. Alaquiva’s parents have helped her create a kids cooking segment for the Food Bank. This segment airs on “Pittsburgh Today Live” on KDKA-TV and helps raise awareness and funds for the organization.
