#ONEDAY Critical Needs Alert is Aug. 4, 2026

The #ONEDAY Critical Needs Alert helps our entire community support over 200+ nonprofits in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties that serve vulnerable populations.

Far too many people are unable to meet their basic needs due to limited access to resources and opportunities that would help them thrive. For example, one-in-five Pittsburghers is food insecure, and shortages of affordable housing and child care contribute to housing and family instability. When individuals and families can meet their basic needs, they experience less stress and anxiety, which supports overall well-being, provides stability and empowers them to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Your donations will benefit organizations and nonprofits supplying basic needs services. You will help people facing challenges with child care, mental and physical health care, job insecurity, food insecurity, eviction and threats to housing.
