I have been involved with NHCO for over 5 years, first on a committee to raise capital funds for a satellite office in Millvale, PA, then as a board member. NHCO is a well-run organization with dedicated & caring staff as well as generous volunteers. The Executive Director and staff are good stewards of the resources (funds, in-kind gifts, volunteer hours, etc.) that are given to the organization to help our neighbors in crisis and need.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
NHCO has numerous services and programs to assist our neighbors who are experiencing hardships and poverty. These range from food pantry, utility and housing assistance, flood recover assistance, free rides for seniors, school supplies, holiday toys and winter coats, to a program called "Community Auto" that provides low cost cars to individuals in need.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Increase its visibility within the area of northern Allegheny County where NHCO provides help and services. Also, NHCO needs additional support from the business community within the area.
MY ROLE:
Board Member & I am board member who has served on several committees that support the mission of NHCO.
