Every day in Pittsburgh, neighbors help neighbors build better lives. For over 40 years, Jubilee Kitchen has opened its doors to anyone seeking support—no questions asked. Whether you need a warm meal, housing assistance, job training, or childcare, you’ll find more than just help here. You’ll find hope.
As Pittsburgh’s only 365-day soup kitchen and comprehensive support center, we’re here when you need us most. From our daily meals and food pantries to our homeless prevention program and childcare services, we offer the tools and support needed to transform lives.
Visit our Hill District location any day between 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM for a hot meal and access to essential services.
Our programs provide personalized guidance for housing, employment, and financial stability.
Join our community of volunteers or donate to support our mission. Every contribution helps strengthen our Pittsburgh community.
Essential to combating homelessness is preventing it in the first place. That’s where our Homeless Prevention Program comes in. We deliver help before a temporary crisis becomes a permanent one. We provide one-time financial support to individuals for mortgage, rent and utility bill payments to prevent eviction. We assist with helping guests find temporary or permanent housing and also offer money management and other counseling services to help ensure long term housing stability.
Jubilee’s regulars, as well as those new to us, rely on our social services. These services include access to bathrooms, showers, personal hygiene items, transportation assistance, and referrals to other like-mission agencies. We can help individuals to apply for SNAP and other government programs. Jubilee also serves as a mailing address and we help guests read their mail and respond when needed.
The Job Corner acts as a job board where people can find low-level skill, part-time, or seasonal work opportunities. We help with resume writing, interviewing skills, and job search training.
The Clothing Room supplies clothing and undergarments for our guests. We have seasonally appropriate clothing and footwear for interviews, growing children, or general clothing needs. We distribute shoes/boots semiannually, as well as hats, coats, gloves and blankets to those in need.
Jubilee’s John Heinz Child Development Center, a 4-star center, provides high quality and affordable childcare to low-income families. The Center empowers children ages 12-months to five-years-old to succeed in school. We offer needs based tuition.
Hope extends beyond addressing day-to-day needs. Real hope is a pathway to overcome life challenges and eventually achieve self-sufficiency. To provide this hope, Jubilee has implemented a comprehensive case management program to help those we serve address negative psychological impact of stress that living in poverty creates. We walk beside them on a path to achieving economic self-sufficiency. This program will help individuals set and achieve goals in five interrelated areas of family stability and housing, physical and mental wellbeing, financial management, education and training, and employment and career management.
In 2024, Jubilee is embarking on an effort to upgrade our facilities and offerings.
Jubilee Kitchen is undertaking the first ever renovation and expansion of the building which has served our community for more than 44 years.
Since 1979, volunteers have been integral to the mission of Jubilee Soup Kitchen and a vital part of the community that includes staff, guests, and other volunteers.
Even the smallest donation can make a big difference. Help us gather the supplies we need to continue serving our Pittsburgh community.
