Northside Common Ministries is a non-sectarian, non-profit, community-based organization established in 1982 by a collaboration of 30 local churches to meet the increasing needs of the homeless population. At Northside Common Ministries, 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 age 18 and older, the Northside Food Pantry, and a Permanent Housing Program for those with disabilities.
Our work is supported and facilitated by hundreds of volunteers, including members of more than 60 church congregations who provide evening meals for shelter residents throughout the year.
