Pittsburgh Mercy's Operation Safety Net provides mobile street medicine, homeless outreach, and shelter services in Allegheny County — including the Engagement Center, Year-Round Shelter, and Winter Overflow Shelter at Second Avenue Commons in Uptown. Volunteer groups (schools, faith communities, civic groups) organize collection drives: the 'Make a House a Home' campaign gathers new household goods (linens, cookware, cleaning supplies) for individuals moving from the streets into permanent housing; 'Life's Basic Necessities' drives gather cold-weather gear, hygiene items, and socks distributed during street rounds. Contact the Development Office at 412-697-0730.
