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.

The food bank and all the people that help are amazing. Thank you for blessing my family and so many families. I appreciate it.

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.

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

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.

All my three children had the opportunity to go to Day Camp. The staff were kind and helpful, and my kids were safe. My kids still talk about camp and all the fun songs and crafts they got to do — they can’t wait to go back this coming summer!
