Causes: Health
Mission:
The mission of St. Margaret Foundation is to be a valued source of support for UPMC St. Margaret and the health and wellness of the communities it serves.
Geographic areas served: Allegheny County
Programs: The St. Margaret Foundation created Free Rides for Seniors so that our community’s senior citizens who no longer are able to drive or have a vehicle can access grocery stores, pharmacies, doctor’s offices, UPMC St. Margaret Hospital, other merchants and personal residences. A 14-passenger transportation van operates out of the North Hill Community Outreach location in Lighthouse Pointe on the shore of the Allegheny River. With a simple phone call, riders in Sharpsburg, Aspinwall and Blawnox who live south of Route 28 are picked up and taken to locations in that general vicinity. The shuttle is driven by volunteers Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
