We are thrilled to share that Civically has recently received a grant award from the Eden Hall Foundation for our 2024 programming.
—
This generous contribution will be instrumental in sustaining and expanding our cornerstone initiatives, such as:
- FreeStore Wilkinsburg,
- Career Closet, and
- FreeStore Fresh Market, alongside the growth of our civic engagement platform,
- Civically Speaking.
The Eden Hall Foundation, known for its commitment to improving the quality of life in Southwestern Pennsylvania through support for organizations and initiatives focused on health, education, and the environment, has recognized the value of Civically’s mission. This acknowledgment underscores the importance of our initiatives in Wilkinsburg and Pittsburgh’s East End region.
Our programs are designed not just to meet the immediate needs of our community members, but to instill a sense of self-reliance and foster a deeper understanding of civic and social literacy. From providing essential goods through the FreeStore Wilkinsburg, to empowering individuals with professional attire through the Career Closet, and offering fresh, affordable produce via the FreeStore Fresh Market, our initiatives are making a tangible difference in the lives of many.
The support from the Eden Hall Foundation highlights the recognized potential of our initiatives and also underscores the continuous need for resources to achieve our broader mission. Among Civically’s ambitious projects is the redevelopment of the Hunter Building, an investment in Wilkinsburg’s future and social and economic growth. Such ambitious projects illustrate the need for considerable financial support, allowing us to move beyond sustaining current programs and maximize our impact.
We invite others to join us in this journey of community empowerment and transformation. Whether through financial contributions, volunteering, or simply spreading the word about our work, every action makes a difference. Together, we can build upon this foundation, furthering our shared goal to foster a community where every member is informed, engaged, and empowered.
