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?
Family Center Update
SHIM’s South Hills Family Center has relocated from 41 Macek Drive to 1400 Lebanon Church Road. Hear from our Director of Programs about the benefits of this transition in this article.
Help us build a playground!
The absence of an outdoor play area at our new site is a significant challenge for our Early Childhood Program. For children aged 3-5, outdoor play is critical to their cognitive, social, and physical development.
It is essential that we provide a safe, engaging, and well-equipped outdoor environment for these children to learn, grow, and interact.
We’re asking you to invest in local children’s health and well-being by helping us fund the playground installation.
Back to School
Help kids go back to school with confidence!
Last school year only just ended, but we’re already thinking ahead! Can you help by providing in-kind back-to-school necessities? Host a drive during the month of July to help local kids!
