Every child deserves the opportunity to just be a kid. With your gift, help us put a smile on a child’s face this Christmas by providing toys and games their family could not otherwise afford.
Trauma Response Team
FOCUS Pittsburgh’s Trauma Response Team is a cutting edge initiative that addresses the acute phase of trauma as a result of gun violence in our communities. This means we have a team that is ready to address the human and community aspects of gun violence within hours and even minuets of a shooting. Support this highly trained team that is providing healing where it is needed the most.
The Gift of Clean Clothes
Clean laundry is an expensive commodity for those who are homeless or without spare money. Your support allows FOCUS Centers to provide laundromat vouchers to ensure our clients have clean clothes for school or work.
Gift of Community and Fellowship
FOCUS isn’t just about the physical handouts. Perhaps the most important service we provide is a loving community and fellowship, even on Holidays like Christmas, when everyone deserves to experience the love of others. Help FOCUS Centers maintain our facilities with this meaningful gift.
Week of Summer Meals for a Child
Each year, more than 21 million children receive free or reduced price lunches during the school year. But, when school is out, many of these children go hungry. FOCUS’ Summer Feeding Programs provides meals to children in need throughout the summer months. Your gift will keep a child healthy and hunger- free this summer.
Kid’s Nutritious Weekend Meals
Children who qualify for free or reduced- price meals at school often return to school hungry and malnourished after the weekend. Help ensure that these children have nutritious, healthy meals Friday through Sunday too. Your gift will provide enough for one month of weekend meals.
Gift of Healing
Trauma from food insecurity, violence, and homelessness is both a cause and result of poverty. At FOCUS Pittsburgh, we work to foster understanding micro-communities among neighbors, in order to heal shared trauma and improve communication. Your gift will allow us to train leaders who can respond to trauma in their own neighborhoods.
Volunteer Experiences
FOCUS provides hands-on, impactful opportunities for volunteers to fulfill their desire and calling to serve the poor. Through FOCUS Centers and national programs, FOCUS engages over 10,000 volunteers every year, uniting servant and the underserved.
