  • 2025 Holiday Party

    Attention all South Side Slopes residents! Join us for a festive celebration at the American Serbian Club where we’ll be spreading holiday cheer with good food and great company. This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to mingle with neighbors and friends while enjoying the holiday spirit!
    The South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association will provide the food (catered by Zenith) and there will be a cash bar available. Capacity is limited so sign up today!
    Have extra to give this holiday season? Our neighborhood partners, The Brashear Association, have shared that while they always appreciate toy donations for their annual toy drive, their food pantry is in great need. You can contribute canned and non-perishable food items (please ensure they are not expired), but their most urgent needs include personal care products such as soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, tissues, diapers (for infants and adults), feminine hygiene products, shaving cream, razors and household cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheets.
    You may bring pantry items or an unwrapped toy to the party, or you can drop them off at: The Brashear Association, 320 Brownsville Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15210.
