The 2020 Summer Arts Enrichment in South Homewood was filled with lots of excitement as we provided our youth with something positive to do during the summer months while parents were hard at work.
ELA brought the Christmas spirit to Homewood with our Annual Christmas Tree Lighting. With the help of District 1 School Board President Sylvia Wilson,
we distributed over 300 toys including bikes, X Box/Player, and lots of hot cider. To learn how you can help bring happiness and joy to the children of Homewood and help us with our Community outreach initiatives call Our office or send us an email at staff@elallainceinc.org.

Our urban garden is located on the Historic Landmark grounds of the Holy Cross Episcopal Church which is over 145 yrs old and located in South Homewood Pittsburgh. The urban garden initiative is rooted in the History of the Church which once owned a grocery store in Homewood. The goal of the garden is to help restore the importance of farming and being self sufficient. Those learning how to farm will also be taught how to cook what we grow. Join us every Friday @ 9am (during planting seasons only) for Bountiful Harvest as we plant, grow, and share resources together in Homewood.
