SHIM’s mission is to mobilize community resources and implement sustainable programs that compassionately help our neighbors meet basic needs, achieve self-sufficiency and build community.
How can we help you?
You have the power to help your neighbors.
With your help, we can continue to be a hand up, not a hand out, for the 4,000+ people relying on our food pantries each month while also offering youth programs, family support, and service coordination. Your investment helps families in the South Hills thrive. Please give today.

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 have renovated!
We’re excited to have a more welcoming and accessible facility to better serve you!
In 2022, SHIM received a Gaming Economic Development Tourism Fund (GEDTF) grant of $370,000, which is allowing us to address some long-standing concerns. The upgrades we are making are essential to create a more inclusive and welcoming space, aligning with ADA compliance standards, and ultimately enabling us to better serve our community.
