Due to the streets in Pittsburgh, We
can no longer allow Charter Buses larger than 28
passengers to attend the Pittsburgh camp. Vans are the
preferred means of transportation but smaller buses will
work.
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.
