Ways to help others
Join us to combat hunger and hopelessness with food, clothing, employment assistance, and a lift up to a better life.
We’re excited to have two facilities that are more welcoming and accessible to better serve you!
Now that we’ve renovated SHIM Center in Bethel Park, we’re focusing on relocating our South Hills Family Center from Whitehall to West Mifflin!
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve signed a lease to move our South Hills Family Center from 41 Macek Drive to 1400 Lebanon Church Road. The new facility offers plenty of bright, spacious office space. While we’ll need to undertake significant renovations, including building walls and creating classrooms, we’ll keep you updated on our progress every step of the way. If all goes according to plan, we hope to move into the new space by Spring 2025.
