For the work they do and the services they provide, the City Mission Thrift Stores – particularly the one in Canonsburg – were voted Best in the Burgh by readers of Pittsburgh Magazine for the second consecutive year. The money from sales at the stores support City Mission, which accepts the homeless and aims to set them on a recuperative path.

The West Jefferson Hills School District is accepting nominations for the district’s Hall of Fame. The district re-launched its Halls of Fame program last year and this past March, 29 Thomas Jefferson High School graduates and two Jaguar athletic teams were inducted at the Hall of Fame banquet.

In early September, Washington Health System and the Washington County Commissioners helped the Washington County Sheriff’s office unveiled their new pink sheriff vehicle at the WHS Women’s Center.

Dear Editor;

Thomas Presbyterian Church would like to thank all that attended and participated in our Car Show and Pig Roast that was held on August 19. This year’s event was the most successful one we have had so far.  Because of your support, we were able to raise $7,000 for Life Changing Service Dogs for Veterans. This Pittsburgh based organization matches up military veterans living with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders, insulin dependence, and/or mobility issues with trained service dogs.  The bond that these service dogs make with these veterans is more than life-changing, they are lifesaving.
