Our office will be closed on Monday, January 15, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. However, we invite you to join us at noon that day for the Sanctuary Project's MLK Day Vigil.

This year's vigil takes place at the Penn Avenue Parklet - 743 Penn Ave. in Wilkinsburg's business district. 


If you would like to stop by the parklet earlier, visiting artist, Jennifer Chenoweth, will begin serving a free breakfast for the community at 10 a.m.

All are welcome to attend!
