Ongoing Initiatives


Food Giveaways
We partner with local grocery stores, food banks, churches, and a food rescue to give food away weekly to those in need and the community. Time and time again our services have impacted lives and we are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to bless others. Click below to view upcoming food giveaways or opportunities to get involved.

Food Delivery
For those who are unable to drive or have difficulty accessing transportation, we provide a weekly food delivery service. When pallets of food arrive at our location, we first put together food items to fulfill these needs before distributing the rest of the food. If you are in need of food delivery services, please click below to request these services.


Sweet Teen Hygiene Program
It’s easy to overlook the luxury of having shampoo, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products. Many teens and adolescents do not have access or can’t afford basic hygiene items. We partner with schools and social workers to help provide these products to those who need it most. If you’re interested in donating items, you can view what items we are currently in need of here as well as information about dropping them off. If you would like to contact us about this program, please contact us today.

Resume Writing + Welfare
Agape wants all neighbors who are able to work and wanting to work, to have the best chance of success. We offer resume writing and free job interview training for anyone who asks. If you need public assistance and somebody to help you navigate the process, or help you to complete the process online, we are here to help. Simply click below to submit a request and we will help connect you to one of our team members.


John Hamilton Veterans Program
We believe in serving those who serve all of us. Supporting veterans is part of our mission to show love in action. When a veteran is released from the hospital or sick and alone they may request hot meals delivered to their home. For more information about this program or if you would like to get involved, please contact us.


Dubby's Birthday Cakes
Every child deserves a cake on their birthday. We provide a cake mix, candles, icing, and pan for those who can’t afford it so children can feel special on their big day. Please see below to contact us about requesting this service. If you’re interested in donating items, please click below to view our needed donation items.

Seasonal Programs


Did you know a coat donation can help a child in your community stay warm this winter? Coats help provide children the ability to stay warm, prevent sickness, and protect them from harsh weather or living conditions. We collect coats both new and used to distribute through local schools and social workers. If you are interested in donating coats or outer wear or need items, please contact us below. View current donation needs here before you plan to donate.

Every child deserves the opportunity to experience holidays to the fullest. Each spring we collect and assemble Easter baskets for children ages zero to eighteen in McKeesport and the surrounding areas.

Let’s make this next school year the best yet for students in need. In the summer before school starts, we collect supplies and donations to put together backpacks to distribute to students in McKeesport and the surrounding communities. This past year, we provided supplies to more than 210 students. If you’re currently in need of school supplies, please fill out this contact form to get in touch with us. More information about our 2022 Back-to-School program will be available later this summer.
