Bethany Community Ministries (BCM) operates daily to meet the needs of the Homewood Community and beyond. Currently, we are feeding the hungry through Master's Kitchen, our weekly soup kitchen. Members of the community can come in to receive 2 freshly prepared meals to get them through the weekend. Through this program, we serve a over 100 seniors by delivering meals to their apartments. To further address food insecurity in our community, we hold a monthly food pantry at The Storehouse. This program is free to the community and is available in case of emergency at any time during regular business hours. DiSYPles, our summer youth program, provides a safe space for children to learn and play for seven weeks each summer. This program is offered to families absolutely free of charge. BCM consoles and comforts families who grieve or those who may be experiencing illness through The Shawl Project. In this program, handcrafted afghans are made by volunteers and gifted to those in need. Our Soul Fit program addresses the holistic health and wellness of the community, by providing low impact, gentle workouts for seniors or those healing from injury. In 2020, BCM pivoted to make a coordinated effort to meet the needs of seniors in congregate housing, through the SCC. The aim of the Senior Care Coordination program is to address the medical and nonmedical gaps that exist within the vulnerable population of Black and Brown seniors who reside in congregate housing. This program helped us to make the necessary changes to facilitate hundreds of Covid-19 vaccination clinics since 2021 and support the administration of 5,000 Covid-19 vaccinations, many of which were delivered on site in senior congregate housing facilities throughout Allegheny County. Additionally, BCM was able to facilitate 12 Influenza clinics prior to switching over to Covid-19 clinics where BCM also addressed food insecurity. Responding to COVID 19, BCM developed and implemented the SCC program. However, given the latest statistics with regards to vaccine reluctance among the youth and the overall low vaccination rates among this population in Black and Brown communities, BCM believes it now time to again pivot our focus on outreach and vaccination education to counteract the misinformation and support the increase of COVID-19 vaccinations.
