Help Michael raise money

For participating in 2020 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

I'm running for the 7th year with the goal of raising money for Open Hand Ministries. I serve on the Board of Directors of OHM and I'm excited by the strong and diverse community this organization continues to build in the East Liberty and Garfield neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, and the quality of work our staff and volunteers produce as they turn abandoned houses into safe and energy efficient homes for first time homeowners.

Description

Open Hand Ministries promotes justice in the East End of Pittsburgh by building a diverse community focused on financial wellness, equity creation, and home-ownership. Initially founded as a ministry of four churches, we respond to social injustice and inequality plaguing our city by providing opportunities for sustainable and affordable homeownership for families in fragile situations. We serve our community by creating community. We partner with like-hearted organizations and individuals, urban and suburban churches, community development corporations, lending agencies, expert trade skill professionals, funding organizations, and other local support agencies in order to equip our families and community for success and homeownership.
