NFI: Trace Brewing
This month, Network for Impact will be joining our friends at Trace Bloomfield. As huge supporters of the Pittsburgh community, we couldn't think of a better venue to round out the year. Featuring locally brewed beers and ciders, Trace also has a cocktail wine, and zero proof drink menu.
One of the best food trucks in town, Cold Friends Kitchen, will be parked out front, and Trace has generously offered to donate $1/beverage purchase to a good cause!
There is lots of street parking around Trace. Please be mindful of signs.
Specifics for this round of NFI:
🟠 Our team will again be collecting non-perishable food and hygiene items for Jubilee Kitchen. For over 40 years, volunteers here have opened doors to anyone challenged by poverty, joblessness, or homelessness.
🔵 Back by popular demand, Austin Nadin will bring the joy of Bridge Badge to this event: the electronic nametag that connects people from across a room. Please fill out the 2-minute survey here before you arrive, or we can register you at the door if you'd like to participate.
🟡 Marianna, founder of Artivka and frequent participant in NFI, will have a table to sell her beautiful handmade artwork. A portion of the proceeds support children in Ukraine who have lost their homes and parents due to the war.
🟢 Last but not least, we invite you to opt-in to an anonymous, free, holiday exchange! Please write your inspirational quote, or book or podcast recommendation on for a "white elephant" moment. You never know how something as simple as a quote can make somebody's day or provide a new perspective.
Part of why Network for Impact exists is to celebrate our local food and beverage industry — so let's make it an awesome one for the bartenders and food truck!

Network for Impact is a monthly series that pops up at new, local restaurants and breweries, creating a welcoming space for authentic cross-industry conversations.
Here, “Impact” means two things: sparking ideas that matter and strengthening Pittsburgh’s food and beverage scene by lifting up the local economy.
Think of it like a house party: no agenda, just passionate people coming together to support local businesses and each other.
Network for Impact events are hosted in rotating local spaces to support neighborhood businesses and create accessible gathering points across Pittsburgh. Venue selection does not imply formal partnership or endorsement between Network for Impact, its hosts, and any external clients or organizations.
We hope to see you soon!
