Letter from the Executive Director
Pittsburgh Community Services, Inc.(PCSI) is proud to recognize and celebrate 22 years of service as the mandated Community Action Agency for the City of Pittsburgh. PCSI joins the 1100 national member network and the 43-member state network in acknowledging May as Community Action Month.

More than ever, this current era requires that we understand and embrace the tenets of the Community Services Block Grant statutory goals which include coordinating the ways that Community Action Agencies can impact the lives of the poor through processes of services, nutrition, linkages, and self-sufficiency. Our challenge is to commit to empowering the manifestation of hope and change by diligently and efficiently moving resources where they will be most useful to those whose lives have been impacted by the causes of poverty.

We also take time to salute our partners, subcontractors and friends for the work and service that have emanated from the hearts and minds of the many individuals who, on various levels, have committed their time and attention to the plight of Pittsburgh communities and neighborhoods. We remain grateful to those who have carried the torch for more than forty years as part of the War on Poverty. Together we continue to Surround the City with Committed Services.

Cecelia A. Jenkins
Executive Director
