Unfortunately, the After School program sessions scheduled for 3/18 & 3/25 are canceled. Our partners who generously provide space for the program - Allegheny Family Network North - have closed their offices due to COVID-19 thru at least 3/27. We will update our status then.

We have decided to still hold our monthly Veggies for All event on Sat 3/21. We feel strongly that carrying out our mission during uncertain times is important - but with extra precautions. Learn more: https://t.co/WXbVTeneBm
