In just a few weeks, Thanksgiving will be here and Pittsburgh will transform from one of the most affordable places to live into one of the most delicious. And yet, as most of us know Thanksgiving isn’t just a time to eat as much as you can and then go pass out on the couch next to weird Uncle Jerry, rather Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful, it’s a time to appreciate what you have and it’s a time to give back to the community. That’s why we here at Vibrant Pittsburgh will let you in on one the of best ways to give back and provide others with a filling delicious meal...minus weird Uncle Jerry.
Located at 2005 Wyandotte Street in the Pittsburgh borough of Uptown, the Jubilee Kitchen has been serving the Pittsburgh community with a hot meal at noontime for over 25 years. And that’s no longer all it does, either. With a mission to provide different comprehensive social services to the homeless, disadvantaged and marginalized people of the Pittsburgh area, the Jubilee Kitchen is a soup kitchen, a medical clinic, a John Heinz Family Center, job corner, and an after school program. There is no doubt that the Jubilee Kitchen does it all, but on top of that the volunteers there like to take it a step further, too. At the Jubilee Kitchen, whether it be a conversation, handshake, hug or different expression of friendship, volunteers are encouraged to interact with the guests because at the Jubilee Kitchen acknowledgements such as these are thought to have a transformational effect on guests, volunteers, and even the world.
If you’re looking to give back to the Pittsburgh community this Thanksgiving, or at any time of year, the Jubilee Kitchen may be the best place to start! Whether it be to serve, prepare food, wash dishes, child care or help with one of the many other services the kitchen offers, the Jubilee Kitchen is open 365 days a year and is always looking for volunteers. It’s important to give back to the community, especially when the community is as gracious as the city of Pittsburgh. Give a hand this holiday season. Help others find jobs hiring in Pittsburgh. Help others find a warm meal to satiate their hunger. Help out at the Jubilee Kitchen!
