NHCO Sharing Winter Warmth

North Hills Community Outreach is collecting grocery gift cards and financial donations to be distributed to families and senior citizens in need to help pay heating bills. Knowing they have a bit extra for food and warmth, seniors and families can budget for other needs or purchase holiday gifts. The extra financial help significantly reduces stress during the holidays. If your organization, congregation or business can display a Sharing Winter Warmth wreath with removable gift tags, please contact Vicki at vdburtst@nhco.orgor 412-487-6316 opt 1. To donate, please make checks payable to NHCO, write Sharing Winter Warmth on the memo line, and mail or deliver to NHCO, 1975 Ferguson Rd, Allison Park, PA 15101.

Get Your Year-End Tax Deduction by Donating a Vehicle!

Do you or a family member have a vehicle you don’t want anymore? Perhaps it’s not worth the cost of repairs, or it sits unused? Year-end is the time to think about tax-deductions! Community Auto, a program of North Hills Community Outreach, accepts vehicles in any condition, has them repaired, and sells them at below market value to local working families who need them to get to work. You could change a life and you could get the maximum tax deduction. FREE pickup, towing and notary! Call 724-443-8300 or visit www.communityauto.org.
