Footbridge for Families will be participating in the #ONEDAY Critical Needs Alert, which helps our entire community support over 200+ nonprofits in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties that serve vulnerable populations.
#ONEDAY Event Details
This year’s #ONEDAY Critical Needs alert will take place online on
August 6, 2024 at Pittsburghgives.org from 8:00 AM to 11:59 PM.
The Critical Needs Alert benefits nonprofits providing direct service in five areas that strengthen the safety net of essential human services:
CHILD CARE
Programs providing child care for infants and children up to age 6. Those that provide only before- or after-school programming do not qualify.
EMPLOYMENT
Organizations providing employment-related services, such as job readiness, job placement or job retention programs; training or education explicitly related to employment; and support services, such as transportation, tools or clothing to enable individuals to work.
EVICTION PREVENTION AND HOUSING
Organizations that provide direct shelter to individuals and families in crisis. This also includes organizations that provide financial assistance, landlord-tenant mediation and other related services that assist individuals and families to stay safely in their homes.
FOOD AND NUTRITION
Organizations providing food to those who don’t have the ability to meet daily needs, such as food pantries, food banks and soup kitchens.
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH
Organizations providing clinical physical and mental health care. This includes supplies and staffing.
