	Event Description		Time / Location
5/15 - 12/31		Lutheran Service Society - Meals on Wheels Program They are the ones who raised us, the ones who fought our wars, the ones who built the road to our future. They are America’s elderly. And now they are the ones who need us the most. Meals On Wheels programs across the country are struggling to feed the homebound seniors in our communities. Can you imagine going hours without food? Or even a day without food? Well, the Walmart Foundation is giving back to our nation’s seniors by helping support Meals On Wheels. Help the millions of seniors who go hungry every day. They have always been there for us. Now we can be there for them. We are asking you to step up to the plate- to donate, deliver, and do more- so no senior goes hungry. For information about how to help your local Meals On Wheels program, call Lutheran Service Society at 412-366-9490.	All Year, at Varies

7/1 - 9/7		Mattress Discounters kicks off the 5th Annual “Dare to Care Kids Crusade,” just in time for the 4th of July! Mattress Discounters has teamed up with the Salvation Army, Western PA Division, to help provide needy children with a decent bed to sleep on. For the fourth year in a row, the locally owned, sixteen- store mattress retailer will give back to their community and help those in need. As Mattress Discounters owner Kathy Kmonk says: “50 beds in 50 days, from now through Labor Day, to those most in need… is our goal.” In fact, together with the Salvation Army, Mattress Discounters has provided at least that many twin sets to needy children in our area each year over the past 4 years. A portion of the proceeds from sales on select Serta mattresses is put aside and donated to the Salvation Army, who then distributes the beds locally. This Dare to Care Kids Crusade starts on the 4th of July weekend and lasts through Labor Day.	Business Hours, at Mattress Discounters Locations
