HEARTH is a volunteer‑driven group in Pittsburgh helping families facing homelessness.

HEARTH is a community‑focused nonprofit in Pittsburgh that works alongside mothers and children rebuilding their lives after homelessness, trauma, and housing instability. Volunteers are the backbone of the organization, offering flexible individual roles such as office assistance, cleaning, and organizing donations, as well as group projects that include furniture building, painting, gardening, and landscaping. Families also benefit from child‑care and after‑school programming, where volunteers supervise children, help with homework, and lead enrichment activities like art and music. Deeper engagement is possible through mentorship, career coaching, transportation support, and hands‑on assistance with moves. In addition, volunteers help plan and run events, from family‑fun gatherings to seasonal celebrations and annual fundraisers, and they organize in‑kind donation drives to meet families’ needs. No special skills are required—just a willingness to show up with care, consistency, and intention. Whether you prefer a one‑time task or an ongoing commitment, HEARTH welcomes individuals, corporate teams, university groups, and community organizations to help create a stronger, more supportive environment for the families it serves.
