Known as the
"Steel City", Pittsburgh is home to amazing architecture and is
ranked in the top 10 "most beautiful U.S. skylines". Into the
late 1960's the city was home to the thriving steel industry and
attracted a very diverse population. However, once the steel
industry closed, it left many families struggling to support
themselves, and now there is a great need to support the elderly
community. Join CHWC as we share God's love through service to
those in need in the city of black and gold.
