Rankin Christian Center

Mon Valley Supports Coordination Program (MVSC) locates, coordinates and monitors support services for people diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and/or autism (I.Q. 70 or lower, onset must occur prior to age 22). The Program advocates for an individual's social, health, safety and emotional needs while assisting the individual and his or her family in navigating the social service system. MVSC has established itself as a leader among the Supports Coordination sector by delivering services in a way that is uniquely people-driven, committed and progressive.

Seniors-on-the-Move strives to keep senior citizens active and independent through a wide range of social, recreational, spiritual, educational, nutritional and personal safety activities. What makes this program unique is the intergenerational nature of these program services, as they are often supplemented by service projects performed by the Afterschool and Youth of the Nation Youth programs.

The Center operates a Food Pantry for the Rankin Community, in collaboration with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, the Edgewood Towne Center Giant Eagle, Aldi’s Markets, and local participating vendors. Additionally, various bakery and produce items are distributed daily, and "Senior Citizen Boxes” are distributed monthly.

In partnership with the Pittsburgh Foundation, the Center coordinates the distribution of funds for economically disadvantaged individuals and families in Rankin to help pay un-met utility bills.

Since the 1970’s, the Rankin Christian Center has raised thousands of dollars through private donations, which are then awarded as scholarships to those seniors in the Woodland Hills School District who graduate from High School and are enrolled in either a College or Trade School. Successful completion of their High School work is the only criteria for consideration for the scholarship funds.
