Invite a Friend. Grow the Impact.

Every friend you invite brings us one step closer to providing critical services to neighbors in need.

pantry client Justin's simplified thankful quote
“I like to donate to SHIM because I see how SHIM truly helps those in need of assistance.” -Eileen, monthly sustaining donor

Invite your friends to get involved!


For almost 60 years, SHIM has been building community in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Offering a hand up not a handout, we help neighbors meet basic needs and achieve self-sufficiency by providing essentials such as food, clothing, and financial assistance alongside empowering programs like parenting classes and youth programs.

Our work is only possible thanks to the incredible generosity of individuals like you.

Neighbors like you provide 20% of the food we distribute through in-kind donations.

More than 300 volunteers power our programs, saving us thousands of dollars in labor costs.

Financial gifts go farther thanks to our 500% purchasing power at the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

Tell your friends why you decided to make a difference!

“Unforeseen circumstances can befall anyone, and being there to extend a helping hand is a powerful act.” -Susan, longtime donor

Help us reach our goal of meeting 100 new supporters and raising $5,000!
