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?
Every week, more of our neighbors are coming to our food pantries with the same quiet worry: How will I feed my family this week?
Rising food prices, unexpected expenses, and SNAP eligibility changes have pushed many households right to the edge. Families who never imagined needing help are now regularly shopping at our pantries.
Investing in SHIM builds a stronger, more equitable South Hills.
From the new South Hills Family Center to its expanding food access initiatives, SHIM delivers long-term value that benefits the entire region. Programs like family support, youth development, and immigrant services not only change lives but also yield measurable returns for taxpayers and communities.

SHIM’s South Hills Family Center has relocated from 41 Macek Drive to 1400 Lebanon Church Road. Learn how this move helps us expand services and offer stronger support for families across the South Hills.
