Emergency Food Assistance

Due to the government shutdown, 300,000 households won’t get SNAP food assistance on Nov. 3. Legal appeals may delay benefits, causing widespread food insecurity. Give today to support emergency food assistance and our 211 contact center, which has seen dramatic upticks in calls for food.

Impact Grant:

Voices Against Violence (VAV) has proudly offered a free summer camp experience for 28 years to youth from low-income, underserved communities in South Pittsburgh. This seven-week program for children age 4 to 14 embraces the theme “Smile and Heal,” focusing on mental health, well-being, self-care, mindfulness and the healing power of the outdoors.

This grant supported the VAV Summer Experience 2023, which blended traditional day camp fun with academic enrichment and holistic wellbeing. Held at McKinley Park, the program offered activities such as coding, robotics, art, music therapy, gardening and physical exercise in a nurturing environment that promoted learning and personal growth.
