North Hills Community Outreach... When you need help or want to help others Watch our video! Our Mission North Hills Community Outreach is an interfaith organization addressing the needs of people in crisis, hardship and poverty.

An anonymous donor took us on a $1,200 food pantry shopping spree at Aldi's! 58 walkers raised $3,445 for NHCO at this year's Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community. Franco Harris had lunch with NHCO utility volunteers, including Gary Brandenberger. Guiding Star Productions dancers prepare for NHCO benefit/grand recital. The St. Paul's Players donated two performances of The Odd Couple (Female Version) for NHCO's annual dessert theatre benefit.

Northern Allegheny County is a sharing community where no one is cold, hungry or alone.

Our Core Values

• Faith: Recognizing the love of God for everyone
• Compassion: Treating all individuals with dignity, understanding and caring
• Empowerment: Fostering self-sufficiency and improved quality of life
• Stewardship: Managing our resources in a trustworthy and responsible manner for the good of the community

A Brief History
In 1986, when flooding ravaged portions of the North Hills, local religious and community leaders worked together to help flood victims. This effort mobilized the community into action so that resources offered by congregations, businesses, civic groups and individuals were directed to the affected families. As a result, North Hills Community Outreach was incorporated in 1987 as an organization of People Helping People. NHCO is not a United Way partner agency but can receive donations through Contributor's Choice. Our code is 2357.
