The North Side community needs your help!

At Northside Common Ministries (NCM), we are committed to building those bridges that connect our neighbors in need to an improved quality of life, while tearing down the walls that keep the hungry and homeless from success.

An affiliate unit of Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania, NCM operates the Pleasant Valley Emergency Shelter for men and male-identifying individuals aged 18 and older, the Northside Food Pantry, and a Permanent Housing Program for those with disabilities.

We can’t do all that we do without YOU! NCM’s work is supported and facilitated by hundreds of passionate volunteers throughout the year. We need caring and committed people from the community and neighboring organizations to aid clients shopping in the food pantry and to help to keep things running efficiently at the men’s shelter.
