Support Amachi Pittsburgh

Once again, GCXC is proud to support Amachi Pittsburgh. Amachi Pittsburgh raises awareness and delivers services to give children a fighting chance in Allegheny County-- when the community is knowledgeable about the challenges that they face, children have the support they need to thrive. This awareness creates policy-level change so that youth are unburdened from a system that has made them more vulnerable to the criminal justice system.

Please help us support Amachi by donating during your registration or by bringing an unwrapped toy for a child aged infant through 18 years old. These gifts will be distributed to children throughout the county during December and hopefully bring them a sense of support and joy during the holiday season.
