Carla decided to join FCC/PHCC as staff after coming to the community gatherings for over a year and and volunteering for 6 months. A lifelong Pittsburgher with one daughter, she worked at Central Blood Bank for 25 years. She loves to read as a hobby.

Say hello when you see her!




In December, our Community Engagement Coordinator, Zeba Ahmed, will be saying goodbye after 2 years with us. She will moving to northeast Japan in January to take a job promoting tourism and local businesses.
Here is a message from her:
"Perry Hilltop and Fineview are the first place where I've felt at home and part of a community since I was little. I've really enjoyed getting to meet and spend time with my neighbors. Thank you!"



As such, we will be hiring a new person to join us!
