About PICAF

Pittsburgh Indian Community & Friends (PICAF) was founded in 2014 when Humanitarian Committee Heads of Greater Pittsburgh based organizations - SV Temple, Chinmaya Mission and Hindu Jain Temple and other likeminded individuals came together.

 

It was decided very early on that this all volunteer non-profit will bring people together across all languages, cultures and religions and give back to the region where we have gone to school, worked, raised children, built businesses and benefited in a variety of ways. 

 

PICAF’s mission remains bringing together the diverse Indian community and their Friends living in the Greater Pittsburgh region  and Pittsburgh-Weirton-Steubenville, PA-OH-WV 13 county Combined Statistical Area and giving back to Community in the areas of education, homelessness, education and first responders. 

 

PIC5K, a 5 kilometer and 1 kilometer Run & Walk, conducted once a year in North Park was created as a fundraiser to support PICAF’s mission.  PICAF is a volunteer based 501(c)(3) organization
