About the Program: 

For the past 11 years, we have broken the cycle of generational poverty through education. We do this by developing the minds, bodies and spirits of our students, ensuring that they become fully productive members of society. The Neighborhood Academy is a faith-based, college-preparatory school in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood that provides education for students in grades 8-12 from low income families in the Pittsburgh area.

We all know that proper nutrition is critical to good health, focus, concentration and learning. As part of The Neighborhood Academy’s extended day approach to education, we serve three meals and two snacks per day—a daunting task with food prices soaring. That’s why we need your help! Your donation of just one meal helps our students excel in the classroom, in the arts, on the athletic field, and in life.
