East End Cooperative Ministry has been in operation since 1970, offering resources and support to those in need. Today, we offer support through three essential programs: Community Food Services (CFS), Housing and Employment Services (HES), and Children and Youth Services (CYS).

EECM has seen an increase in demand for several of our services as a result of the rising cost of living. Through our headquarters in East Liberty, we offer free groceries in our food pantry and free meals to the community and our shelter clients. We provide shelter to those experiencing homelessness and recovering from addiction. We offer case management services to help them transition into stable housing and employment. We also provide K-12 students with prevention education, advocacy, and exposure to arts and culture in our in-school and out-of-school-time programming.

Over the course of a year, we serve over 12,000 people. We serve over 3,500 families and 8,300 individuals in our food pantry; serve over 80,000 meals to people who are hungry; provide a safe night of rest in our shelter program over 14,000 times; and serve over 2,000 K-12 students in the Pittsburgh Public Schools system and beyond
