In Spring 2024, Pittsburgh celebrated the commencement of an exciting new chapter for Jubilee Kitchen with a groundbreaking ceremony marking the start of its expansion project. The event drew numerous prominent Pittsburgh leaders, including Congresswoman Lee, Senator Costa, Senator Fontana, County Executive Innamorato, Councilman Walton, Mayor Gainey, and Bishop Zubik, underscoring the importance of this initiative to the local community.

Jubilee Kitchen, known for its commitment to serving those in need, is set to enhance its capacity and services through this expansion. The ceremony symbolized the official start of construction and highlighted the collaborative effort between the organization, local government, and community supporters.

Campaign History

In November 2019, our founder, Sister Liguori, passed away, leaving behind a profound legacy of compassion and service. Her vision and dedication have been the guiding force behind Jubilee’s mission for many years.

In the wake of Sister Liguori’s passing, the Board of Directors held a retreat to chart the course for Jubilee’s future. Despite the loss of our esteemed leader, the board committed to sustaining and growing Jubilee’s mission.

During the retreat, it became evident that the limitations and physical condition of our Kitchen building posed challenges to our long-term sustainability.

After careful consideration, it was determined that the renovation and expansion of the existing facility presented the best opportunity for Jubilee’s future. This decision reflects our dedication to preserving the essence of Jubilee while also adapting to meet the evolving needs of our community.
