The holidays are a special time at the Charity because you make them special. Comforting meals, holiday crafts, and homemade cookies are just some of the many ways you bring the warmth of the season to the Charity. If you would like to take part in bringing the magic to those who are away from home during the holiday season, please consider the following opportunities.

Warm Meals
There is something special about a warm meal, the way it gathers people around the table, fills the House with familiar aromas and provides comfort. With your support, families at RMHC Pittsburgh and Morgantown can enjoy moments like these with your gift of a meal this holiday season.

  • We all have our favorite holiday foods; share yours with RMHC families by preparing a meal at the House. Sign up as an individual or with a group to prepare a meal onsite. Volunteers can provide breakfast, lunch, or dinner; are free to make menu decisions and have full use of our commercial kitchen.
  • Donate and drop off a catered meal from a restaurant or give a gift card to a grocery store or restaurant.
  • Help fill our freezers to feed families when we do not have a meal previously scheduled. Bring the ingredients and schedule a time to prepare those heartwarming casseroles or ready-to-freeze meals in our wonderful community kitchen – (or simply donate a store-bought casserole).
  • Provide a monetary donation by visiting
    https://rmhcpgh-mgtn.org/donate/ and marking “Direct my Donation to Donate a Meal – Morgantown” or “Direct my Donation to Donate a Meal – Pittsburgh.” The funds will be used to purchase a meal.

Please note, all meals not catered by a restaurant must be prepared at the Charity.
