Story

Local organizations serving Allegheny County’s South Hills and lower Mon Valley communities had long sought an opportunity to gather, network, learn, and collaborate. In 2015, the Jefferson Community Collaborative – an initiative and investment of the Jefferson Regional Foundation – emerged to fulfill this vision for organizations providing services in the communities served by Jefferson Hospital.

Community-based organizations are invited to join the Collaborative.
