Partners in Philanthropy

Written by: Kate Snyder, Development and Donor Communications Coordinator

Hats off to a new group of friends of East End Cooperative Ministry -- the Pittsburgh Social Venture Partners. PSVP is a partnership of philanthropic-minded individuals who invest their time, expertise and capital in innovative nonprofits serving at-risk youth.

The PSVP team recently served dinner at EECM's Men's Emergency Shelter. Here are some reflections from one of the women who participated in that event.

“It was a pleasure being part of yesterday’s feeding the poor event. It opened my eyes to a new reality in Pittsburgh and USA. Living in a country, which is consider the richest country, still there are many men going to bed in shelters, depending on volunteers to feed them. I wished we had more food to feed them not only once but until they were satisfied.

It makes me thankful to the Lord God for his provisions in my life. What has opened your eyes lately?"
