programs and events for all ages. Below are just a few! Visit nhco.org
for a more complete list of upcoming events and more information.
Run for the Hills in the Marathon
NHCO needs at least 50 runners to commit to running the Dick’s
Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon on May 1! Form a relay team at
work or school, or run the half or full marathon and help raise funds
and awareness for NHCO. Running for your favorite charity motivates
you to keep training! Your registration fee is covered when your
fundraising goal is met. Visit thepittsburghmarathon.com or contact
Jennifer Drayton at [email protected] or 412.408.3830 x 3210.

Community Auto Seeks Vehicles for Waiting Working
Families
Do you or a family member have a vehicle you don’t want
anymore? Perhaps it’s not worth the cost of repairs, or it sits unused?
Community Auto, a program of NHCO, accepts vehicles in any
condition, has them repaired and sells them at below-market value
to local working families who need them to get to work. You could
change a life and get the maximum tax deduction. FREE pickup,
towing and notary! Call 724.443.8300 or visit communityauto.org. ■
