The Squirrel Hill Night Market Night 2 has been rescheduled for this Saturday, August 29th! SHUC is in need of volunteers for the Night Market Litter Patrol to assist with setup, litter pickup, trash bag changes, and teardown. Keeping this event clean depends entirely on dedicated community volunteers like you, so please help us and support the cleanup crew! Scan the QR code to sign up or click post for sign-up link.
Preserving, Improving, and Celebrating the Quality of Life in Squirrel Hill
For over fifty years, the Coalition has been an active and important link in the community. It has served as a sounding board for new ideas, as well as a “watchdog” in the areas of public safety, education, residential quality, the business district, and parks and open space. With its focus on the quality of life in the 14th Ward, SHUC continues to monitor activities and future developments in the community through a range of standing committees.
