Christopher's Kitchen’s Post

When you support Christopher's Kitchen, you're helping families get a basic need taken care of - food. When families are in the hospital, or when there are children at the Child Advocacy Center getting help, the last thing they should worry about is where their next meal will come from. With big decisions to make and heavy emotions to carry, something as simple as a meal or snack can help them carry on. #ChristophersKitchen #Charity #Nonprofit #UPMCChildrensHospital #Pittsburgh #FoodPantry #Volunteer #GivingBack #Donate #FamilySupport #ChildhoodIllness #CommunityService #HelpOthers #Philanthropy #ChildHealth #ChildhoodCancer #PediatricHospital #ChildrensCharity #HospitalSupport #FoodBank #GiveHope #KidsHealth #FamilyCare #PittsburghCharity #ChildLife #ChildrensHospital #HealthyEating #ChildhoodDisease #FoodDonation #SupportLocalCharities

>> Imagine aging out of foster care, being led to a program that will get you into an apartment (if you’re one of the few fortunate to enough to qualify), then being dropped off at the empty apartment completely alone. No furniture. No groceries. No cookware or dishes. No toiletries. No family. The amount of times we’ve heard the phrase “I just wish I had parents or family to help me” is heart breaking. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again… IT IS OUR (the community’s) RESPONSIBILITY TO STEP IN for the kids in the foster system. Whether our role is show up for them ourselves, or to help the people that can show up for them. This is OUR responsibility. We want to help meet the physical need, but we also have made contacts and friends that will help them with things like job placement or even banking/financial mentorship. If it’s on your heart to help us help these kids/young adults, please consider a donation. You can head to our website and donate there. You can give a one time donation or set up a monthly donation to help us continue to reach those who need it.

Supporting employees and employers affected by cancer is crucial in fostering a compassionate and productive workplace. Dr Liz Sparkes' dedication to Yes to Life, driven by personal experience, exemplifies how impactful community engagement can be. Her efforts in organizing a retreat that raised over £1,300 highlight the power of combining wellness practices with charitable initiatives. Incorporate This Approach in Your Workplace: 1. Promote Employee-Led Initiatives: Encourage employees to organize wellness events and fundraisers, fostering a sense of community and purpose. 2. Integrate Holistic Practices: Offer sessions on meditation, breathwork, and compassion practices to support employees' mental and emotional well-being. 3. Community Engagement: Partner with local organizations and charities to create meaningful volunteer opportunities for employees. How Our Tree of Life Program Helps: Our Tree of Life Employee Vitality and Cancer Defense Program supports employees through all phases of cancer—diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and preventive care. By integrating holistic wellness practices, we help improve quality of life and support employers in creating a supportive work environment. Congratulations to Wootton Park Wellness, @Lexis Loving Spoonful, Become One Breathwork (Adam Bray), and all practitioners involved for making a significant difference.

Christopher's Kitchen started out as an idea for a food pantry, but we've expanded to so much more. We have pantries on different units of Children's Hospital that families can access anytime as they please. But it doesn't stop there! When families are in the hospital with their children, it's quite common to see that parents and caregivers don't want to leave their child's side. This is especially true for units like the PICU (Pediatric Intense Care Unit) where patients here are in more critical care. So, the white bags you see pictured are wheeled around on a cart on these units so that caregivers don't have to leave their child's side. Each white bag is packed with enough food to fully feed 1 caregiver. The red bags, however, are take-home bags. Each red bag is packed with enough food to feed a family of four a meal. Many times parents at the hospital have other family they need to take care of at home, and without the time or even financial ability to run to the grocery store, these meal bags come in handy. The red bags are also taken to community outreach centers and delivered to families in need there, too. From the beginning, our mission has been to help keep families fed, so they can focus on what really matters. ❤️ #ChristophersKitchen #Charity #Nonprofit #UPMCChildrensHospital #Pittsburgh #FoodPantry #Volunteer #GivingBack #Donate #FamilySupport #ChildhoodIllness #CommunityService #HelpOthers #Philanthropy #ChildHealth #ChildhoodCancer #PediatricHospital #ChildrensCharity #HospitalSupport #FoodBank #GiveHope #KidsHealth #FamilyCare #PittsburghCharity #ChildLife #ChildrensHospital #HealthyEating #ChildhoodDisease #FoodDonation #SupportLocalCharities

🧑🦽For a child with cerebral palsy, a wheelchair means more than mobility—it means a new beginning, a new sense of freedom, and a renewed sense of hope to a family. Every child deserves the freedom to explore their world, but for many, that freedom seems out of reach. At Boikanyo, we’re changing that reality by providing reconditioned buggies to children who need them most. These aren’t just wheelchairs—they are life-changing tools that bring joy , independence , and hope to children who have spent their lives limited by their disabilities. Imagine the joy of a child being able to join their family at the dinner table for the first time, or the excitement of moving freely through their home, exploring rooms they’ve never been able to enter. This is what new wheels bring—new beginnings and new hope. Your donation can give a child this life-changing gift.
