Background

Pittsburgh Cares, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was founded in the fall of 1992 by a group of six Pittsburghers who had a vision to create “a new way to volunteer” by offering a more user-friendly, flexible approach to volunteer service. We are affiliated with the Hands On Network & Points of Light Foundation, a nonprofit organization that last year united 4.3 million volunteers through civic hubs that reach 83% of our country’s citizens. Completing close to 62,000 service projects with 11,689 partnerships nationwide, the Hands On Network & Points of Light Foundation logged more than 2.5 million hours of service.
