I’ve stopped for produce with my granddaughter, she had fun carrying the food she picked up. The staff was super friendly to us. Thank you. These services are a blessing to many families.

Volunteering with MVYATA has changed my life. From Food Bank, to after school programs, fundraisers, Day Camp, enrichment events, and Camp Watakamini, I am always learning and acquiring new skills I never thought possible. I am forever grateful for this organization and the impact it has made in the Mon Valley and beyond.

I love Camp Watakamini because I get to hike the Pumphouse Trail with my family and friends. I love it so much and can’t wait to do it again!

The 5-2-8 program has helped me build great friendships, allowing us to open up and be comfortable talking to people.

I have been coming to Camp Watakamini for as long as I can remember and will forever cherish it. Now, I'm a volunteer Leader, which has a profound impact on me, but I'm able to make an impact on the kids as well. Being someone the kids look up to is an amazing feeling, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

MVYATA has helped mold me into the educator I am today! I have found a love for volunteering and positively impacting young campers. I’ve built lifelong friendships and memories that I will cherish forever.

I have been a part of many of the programs that MVYATA has to offer. The programs were always hands-on and interesting. My daughter is now a product of the programs they offer. She has even donated time to help out in the community. MVYATA has great programs to offer the community.
