East End Cooperative Ministry (EECM)

EECM is an interfaith human services organization serving the East End of Pittsburgh.

East End Cooperative Ministry (EECM) was founded in 1970 as a collective response to changes in the community, born when the leaders of 18 local faith communities recognized that the troubles of the community were too great for any one of them to address alone. Starting with interracial breakfasts for Peabody High School students, EECM’s services have expanded as the needs of the community have dictated. For many of the individuals it serves, EECM provides the necessities of life: a hot meal, a safe, place to sleep, food for the family. For others, it is a place to regain strength after a hospital stay, a support system to work toward recovery, or one-on-one help to change life for the better. For young people, EECM is educational programs, drug and alcohol prevention programs, violence prevention programs, Summer Day Camp, and a concerted effort to show our children a better future. Our three programs include Children & Youth Services, Community Nutrition Services, and IMPACTS (Individuals Making Progress and Change through Self-Sufficiency).

Donald came to EECM after a successful completion of inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Donald was involved in the criminal justice system and when he came to us, he was determined to not continue the revolving cycle of jails and institutions.

Donald became employed within his first month of being in the recovery house. He worked diligently on saving his money, attending dual diagnosis therapy to assist him with maintaining his mental wellness, developing relapse prevention strategies, and building a foundation for long term recovery.

Donald was able to move into safe, affordable housing within three months. He is now a driver for the same treatment center he graduated from. He is able to help men and women get into treatment safely and will often speak about the opportunities and resources available at EECM that helped him build his recovery and try to help others recover as well in a safe, supportive community.

Your support helps make success stories like Donald's possible. Will you help us create even more?

While living at EECM’s Recovery House, Anthony has found stability, support, and a community that has helped him build a stronger foundation for his future. Today, he is working, has his driver’s license, a fully insured vehicle, and a bank account. He’s staying clean, attending meetings, and working toward his next goal of getting his own apartment.

Along the way, Anthony has learned that asking for help and accepting guidance can be an important part of growth. As he continues to build a more stable life, he’s also using what he has learned to encourage and support others around him.

Anthony’s story is still being written. Each milestone brings him closer to the independent future he’s working toward.

Your support helps make stories like Anthony’s possible. Help us create more opportunities for success this summer.
