PITTSBURGH — At their height, powerful windstorms knocked out power for more than 250,000 customers in the Pittsburgh region beginning March 13. Many outages lasted for days as crews worked to repair power lines tangled up in fallen trees. On Wednesday, Catholic Charities held a resource event for low-income customers impacted by the storms.
Customers received Giant Eagle gift cards, shelf-stable food, hygiene items, energy efficiency tools and baby supplies. DLC and Catholic Charities representatives also helped connect customers with programs that can help when storms hit.
