We’ll be at the Busy Beaver in West Mifflin and the Busy Beaver in Crafton washing cars all day on Saturday, September 11th. Our plan is to run the event as a carwash-a-thon where people sponsor a certain amount for every car that we washed.
We’re trying to get to $80 per car committed before the carwash on September 11th. For that to happen, we …

For the last 3 years, the L.I.V.I.N.G. Ministry been hosts of a revolutionary job fair. This job fair is unlike any other job fair around. Instead of just setting up tables and having people show up and meet employers, we hold a ‘closed’ job fair, where all of our prospective employees receive job training skills (budgeting, resume writing, conflict resolution, and interviewing skills). These skills help prepare them so that they are a step ahead of other jobseekers when they speak with employers. This always makes a better transition and …

There’s nothing like coming in to work on your first day at a brand new job and finding out you’ve got four distinct groups of people to organize, and the first project is in six days.

On Saturday, November 21st, we hosted our 7th annual festival for the homeless on the Northside, and it was a huge success! We had more volunteers than ever, and were able to serve more people than we had ever served before (so much so that we ran out of food!). Thanks to God’s favor and faithfulness, the day went on without any hitch. We are truly thankful for each of you that came out and experienced the day with us. There were at least 30 people who raised their hands …
