After a record 700-plus overdoses last year in Allegheny County alone, people throughout the Pittsburgh region, and the state, are striving to turn the corner on the opioid epidemic. As tens of thousands struggle with addiction to ever-more-potent narcotics, we'll bring together the leaders who are marshaling resources, and the problem-solvers who know the city's hardest-hit streets. 
 
On April 19, Governor Wolf and local leaders will be discussing ways to address the opioid epidemic in our region at Heinz Field. Following the forum, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will host a roundtable that includes local individuals working towards solutions from recovery, treatment, and housing communities.

City Of Pittsburgh Snow Angels Program 
Snow covered sidewalks can be hazardous for everyone. Pittsburgh Snow Angels is a program that helps minimize the hardships of winter by pairing volunteers with elderly or disabled residents to assist with snow removal. 
 
Along with fostering stronger community relationships and relieving some of the stress that comes from a snow storm, Snow Angels makes our sidewalks safer for those who continue to serve despite the winter weather – like postal service workers, firemen, and police officers.
You can now call 3-1-1 to volunteer or request an angel.
