A hidden gem in Penn Hills

We are a non-denominational, faith-based, non-profit 501c3 that exists to utilize the Barclay Building of Hebron Church as a SAFE space within the community where we can take a holistic approach to caring for our community.  


We aim to address and overcome obstacles and disparities in our community to ensure everyone has equal opportunities for overall well-being and community health.
