For example, Miryam's, located in the Uptown section of Pittsburgh, provides programs and services to homeless women. Volunteers help run games, including bingo and casino games. All ages are welcome. Also in need of volunteers is the Chartiers Manor House in Carnegie. This facility provides therapeutic services, personal care services, and supervision to 16 older adults with mental health disabilities.
Volunteers spend the afternoon socializing with residents by playing a game or making a craft.
If you prefer a more quiet volunteer opportunity, then mark your calendar for Saturday, Feb. 19, from 9 a.m. to noon. Pittsburgh Cares volunteers will be cleaning books and shelves at the Lawrenceville branch of the Carnegie Library.
