The program has been working closely with our food provider so meals can be picked up daily at each site while closed.

FOUNDATION OF HOPE – HOPE Diversion Program

The Foundation of HOPE offices on the Northside and Hill District are closed for “face-to-face” contact; however, there is generally staff in the office to answer phone calls and respond to questions to those we serve. We are also conducting phone calls as a safety check to ensure that the families have their essentials and inform them of resources that are in their community. Our License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) is providing assessments and therapy via video-conferencing and we are able to help with transportation. 

All workshops and programming will be closed during the entire time of the quarantine and until the Pittsburgh Public Schools allow the students to return to school.

MACEDONIA FACE – GIRLS CIRCLE & BOYS COUNCIL

As a partner to the Department of Human Services, we are considered an essential services provider. Each day we continue to assess the need to be responsive to the individuals and families we support while simultaneously taking steps to assure the safety of our staff.

Consequently Macedonia FACE will remain open. While our primary focus will be food distribution to those who need it, we will also be responsive to any additional client needs to our best ability. We have however, abbreviated our hours of operation. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays or administrative office will operate from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. and on Tuesday and Thursday our administrative office will operate from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
