I have been a part of many of the programs that MVYATA has to offer. The programs were always hands-on and interesting. My daughter is now a product of the programs they offer. She has even donated time to help out in the community. MVYATA has great programs to offer the community.

The 5-2-8 program has helped me build great friendships, allowing us to open up and be comfortable talking to people.

I've been involved with MVYATA for 50 years. The organization has had a profound impact on my life. I made sure to involve my children and now my grandchildren. I am an active member of the Board of Directors to ensure the opportunities continue. MVYATA has truly been life-changing.

I love Camp Watakamini because I get to hike the Pumphouse Trail with my family and friends. I love it so much and can’t wait to do it again!

I’ve stopped for produce with my granddaughter, she had fun carrying the food she picked up. The staff was super friendly to us. Thank you. These services are a blessing to many families.

I’ve been going to Camp Watakamini since I was 10 years old. Now at 19, I love volunteering my time because every year you can rekindle memories you never thought you would experience again.

Volunteering with MVYATA has changed my life. From Food Bank, to after school programs, fundraisers, Day Camp, enrichment events, and Camp Watakamini, I am always learning and acquiring new skills I never thought possible. I am forever grateful for this organization and the impact it has made in the Mon Valley and beyond.
