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

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!

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.

I've been involved with MVYATA for 50 years. The organization has had a profound impact on my life. I made sure to involve my children and now my grandchildren. I am an active member of the Board of Directors to ensure the opportunities continue. MVYATA has truly been life-changing.

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!

I like making good food at the 5-2-8 program.
