During the summer, when school is not in session, there are many children who depend on the meals they receive at school. We give food insecure children a take-home bag every week for 8 weeks in June, July, and August. We distribute these bags through local community centers with the help of our dedicated volunteers who purchase the food, put the bags together, and ensure they are delivered each week.
Our volunteers spend their summer planting, caring for, and harvesting in the vegetable gardens at Gilfillan Farms. All the fresh produce they grow is distributed to those in need through the South Hills Movements food pantries.
Did you know that there are families experiencing homelessness in Upper St. Clair and Bethel Park? Our volunteers are here to help by fulfilling specific needs such as clothing and school supplies on an individual basis throughout the year.
Living Stones is a non-profit organization that aims to provide meals to those who are facing food insecurity. Every Sunday, they serve dinner in neighborhoods where access to food is limited. The food they serve is donated by senior care homes and restaurants. As volunteers, we have the privilege of dedicating our time four times a year to serve the food buffet-style and meet the guests.
Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals to seniors. We show our support by baking tasty treats during the summer, decorating Easter Eggs, and preparing blizzard bags filled with food for days when snow prevents food deliveries.
Have you ever encountered someone experiencing homelessness and felt unsure about how to assist them? QuicKits are bags that contain hygiene and food items. Our volunteers purchase the contents and assemble the bags.
Whenever you come across someone in need on the street gifting them a QuicKit is a way to reach out and support these individuals.
At WPC, we welcome refugee families to our community! We offer support with finding housing and furnishings, assist adults in securing employment, and help children get enrolled in school. Our goal is to make their transition smooth and stress-free so they can make a successful transition.
RAH is an international non-profit hunger relief organization. Once a year 300+ Westminster volunteers package 40,000 meals. RAH distributes these meals through schools and orphanages around the world.
SHIM is all about helping our neighbors in need. They operate food pantries serving eligible neighbors in Baldwin-Whitehall, Bethel Park, South Park, Keystone Oaks, Mt. Lebanon, and Upper St. Clair.
Twice a year we host a one-day, church-wide, Fill The Van, SHIM food collection. We encourage donations year around in our many SHIM donation boxes.
Street Moms is a non-profit organization based in Wheeling, West Virginia, dedicated to supporting women who are experiencing homelessness. Our volunteers provide them with essential supplies, including tents, to ensure their comfort and safety. Additionally, we organize regular meals to nourish and uplift these women throughout the year.
