Thanks to everyone who filled out our survey and entered the Slopes Holiday raffle. We will be announcing the winners soon, but we wanted to share why you love the Slopes!
This has been a difficult year for all of us, but we still appreciate the views, neighbors, and the convenience of living in this green neighborhood!
The City of Pittsburgh’s Office of Community Affairs is now accepting applications for the 2020-2021 Snow Angels Program. This program pairs older adult residents and residents with disabilities with nearby volunteer Snow Angels to help them shovel and salt their sidewalk and property throughout the winter.
Snow Angels make sidewalks safer for those who are outside during the winter weather like postal carriers, firefighters, police officers, and other neighbors.
To request help from a Snow Angel, neighbors must:
- Be at least 60 years old or have a physical disability
- Live within City of Pittsburgh limits
- Lack other resources (financial or family/friends nearby) to assist with snow removal
Volunteers and neighbors in need can register for the program online at https://pittsburghpa.gov/snowangels/ or by calling the City’s 311 Response Center.
Normally, the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA) celebrates the holiday season with a holiday party inviting all of our neighbors and asking neighbors to bring a toy for the annual Brashear Association Toy Drive benefiting area children. This year, due to Covid-19, we can’t hold our party, but we still want to help build our community. What are we doing instead?
- Today, on #GivingTuesday, the SSSNA is donating $4,000 to the Brashear Association for their annual Toy Drive.
- We are also donating $1,000 to the Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community “The Table” program which provides free meals to our neighbors every week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. If you are in need, please stop by!
- Finally, we are hosting a local business gift card giveaway. Sign up here by December 31st to enter to win!
If you have extra this year, we encourage our neighbors to also donate to these programs and shop local this holiday season. Together, we can help each other through this difficult time and spread some joy. #GivingTuesday
Check your mailboxes for a special holiday card from the SSSNA announcing these holiday plans!

In our 20th year of the Pittsburgh StepTrek, the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association intends to support our community and region with an outdoor, family friendly, socially distanced, and safe event that will help people to get out and explore our neighborhood. We understand the implications of our current situation with the pandemic and financial fallout that has accompanied it. Our intent is to produce an enjoyable experience in our neighborhood, while keeping our distance from each other.
The event will run from October 1-7, 2020. Buy tickets and t-shirts here! https://www.showclix.com/event/steptrek
