Since 1979, Jubilee Kitchen has been dedicated to serving the people of Pittsburgh. Our founders—Sister Liguori, Joyce Rothermel, Rev. Frank D. Almade, Sister Cornelia Racs and Rev. James W. Garvey —started providing hope with $9.36 and a vision. We have grown into an organization that addresses the needs of homeless, disadvantaged, and marginalized people with an array of services in a welcoming atmosphere that extends dignity and respect to every guest.
Jubilee’s mission is to improve the lives of those we serve in a safe and caring environment. Continuously adapting to accommodate the ever-changing needs, Jubilee provides a comprehensive array of services to help people move from dependence to independence, from struggling to self-sufficiency, from powerless to empowered. We collaborate with over 30 interrelated providers to coordinate services, provide complementary programs, and eliminate gaps in services.
