Our Story!
PitCare, Inc. grew out of the vision of two couples that became good neighbors in the economically challenged town of Pitcairn, PA. By relocating to Pitcairn in 2010, this vision became a reality. PitCare, Inc. attained its 501(c)(3) Non-Profit status in 2014. In March of 2015, PitCare, Inc. hired its first Executive Director, and in January 2019 PitCare hired its first Director of Operations. Our Director of Operations resides in Pitcairn.
From the onset PitCare, Inc. has focused its resources on empowering families, building community, and promoting economic stability to the town in Pitcairn, PA
To carry out its mission, PitCare:
- Prepares and provides Meals through our Meals on Wheels program serving our seniors in Pitcairn, Wall, Wilmerding, Trafford, and Monroeville.
- Our Focus Beyond the Field program reaches over 75 community children through athletics, academics, and discipline.
- Renovated the main floor of our Center Avenue location to house the Kim Parsons Library and Community Center.
- Partners with Allegheny County’s “Learn & Earn” summer program in which we have employed over 8 youth since 2018.
Each of the above programs has grown from modest beginnings to reaching a greater number of children and families in the community!
