The East End Cooperative Ministry (EECM) is dedicated to helping vulnerable adults and at-risk children and youth throughout our Pittsburgh Neighborhood. As an interfaith ministry, EECM seeks to make a difference in the lives of the individuals and families it serves by tending to their needs for today as well as their hopes for tomorrow.

First Unitarian Church has a regular commitment to cook and serve a meal for those at the shelter on the first Sunday of the month. To volunteer your group (4-6 people) or yourself to prepare and serve a meal, please contact the EECM chairperson.
