North Hills Community Outreach...
When you need help or want to help others

Our Mission North Hills Community Outreach (NHCO) is an interfaith nonprofit organization that addresses the spiritual, emotional, physical and material needs of people in crisis, hardship and poverty. NHCO provides information and education, makes referrals and facilitates access to resources to bring immediate help in a manner designed to preserve the dignity of individuals and families and to demonstrate the love of God. Our Vision Northern Allegheny County is a community where everyone shares with their neighbors in hardship, and no one is cold, hungry or forgotten.

Mick's North Hills Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge selected NHCO to receive $10,000 from the Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers Association! Kate Pfrommer, Justin Taylor, Alex Zabierek and Stephen Freehling join NHCO as summer interns. Volunteers help sort bags for our Back-to-School Sharing Project. A family in need gets a car from Community Auto. A mission group from North Carolina paints an elderly person's house. The project was arranged through Iron City Church.

Our Seven Core Values
North Hills Community Outreach provides services to neighbors in need with: Compassion, Effectiveness, Professionalism, Holistic Approach, Collaboration, Vision, Stewardship

A Brief History
In 1986, when flooding ravaged portions of the North Hills, local religious and community leaders worked together to help flood victims. This effort mobilized the community into action so that resources offered by congregations, businesses, civic groups and individuals were directed to the affected families. As a result, North Hills Community Outreach was incorporated in 1987 as an organization of People Helping People.

Services Offered
NHCO's services include two food pantries, utility assistance, college scholarships for nontraditional adults, emergency financial help, Family Savings Accounts, support groups, individualized computer and employment training, tobacco use prevention and cessation, Faith in Action volunteer caregiving, transportation, youth leadership, a partnership with Community Auto, and much more!

Who is Served

NHCO charges absolutely no fees for its services. We rely on the generosity and support of individuals, businesses, foundations, government entities, religious organizations, schools and civic groups to help us carry out our mission of serving those in crisis, hardship and poverty.
