For years, Fishes & Loaves Cooperative Ministries has been providing free groceries to Hazelwood neighbors in the very space we worship in, and Hot Metallers are invited to lend a helping hand once a month. No RSVP is needed, just arrive ready to assist neighbors with love and dignity.
MEDICAL DEBT SPECIAL OFFERING
All Saints Sunday, November 2: 10:30 AM
Spartan Community Center of Hazelwood (134 E Elizabeth St)
Many of our neighbors are strapped with medical debt, one of the leading causes of bankruptcy along with damage to credit scores and reluctance to seek necessary medical care. By joining with the Matthew 25 Initiative of the Pittsburgh Presbytery, we have the opportunity to abolish over $11 million of medical debt in Allegheny County for pennies on the dollar. On All Saints Sunday, we will take a special offering during our regular worship gathering and will also provide a link to donate online.
IT’S TRUE, WE’VE MOVED!
In summer 2024 we voted to sell our building in order to invest in our future. We’ve had a lot of transition and some financial struggles, but we still had a sneaking suspicion that God isn’t done with us just yet. So as we closed the Southside chapter of Hot Metal’s story and said goodbye to our building on Jane Street, we also opened a new chapter in Hazelwood! Get familiar with our new space >>
Hazelwood is a neighborhood that is diverse in age, race, and socioeconomics; not unlike our own community. It is a neighborhood with some real needs, and also where incredible things are happening and where local organizations work hard to support the neighbors they love.
The Spartan Center, in particular, is home to a plethora of neighborhood service organizations, ministries, entrepreneurs, and artists. There are so many exciting friendships to be made as we learn about and learn from our new neighbors, and begin to let our roots regrow in new soil.
