One of the most beloved amenities we offer at Family House is our Daily Healthy Breakfast Program. The Program provides a free, nutritious meal to every guest, every single day of the week. We know that when a loved one is facing a medical challenge, the last thing a family should have to worry about is where their next meal is coming from.
That’s why, since launching the program in 2022, we’ve made it our mission to ensure no guest goes without a healthy start to their day. This program has quickly become a cornerstone of the Family House experience, and it simply would not be possible without the generous support of our donors and community partners. Every contribution made to Family House helps keep this vital program running.
“I am thankful for the breakfast provided by Family House Pittsburgh. It allows me a moment to sit and relax. Sometimes there are people to talk to, other days I’m alone with my thoughts. Either way, it’s a pleasant start to my day. Be thankful for small blessings, they’re all around you.”
– Donna, 2025, Former Guest
Important Changes to Family House Breakfast Service
At Family House, we are committed to providing a welcoming and supportive experience for all of our guests. To ensure that our breakfast program remains available and sustainable, we will be making changes to breakfast service.
These changes will go into effect on Saturday, June 20, 2026.
Weekday Breakfast (Monday–Friday)
Breakfast will be primarily continental-style service during the week. Guests can continue to enjoy a variety of nutritious breakfast options designed to start the day off right.
Here is the current menu for weekday breakfast:
- Hot and cold cereals
- Assorted breads and pastries
- Yogurt
- Fresh fruit
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Beverages
Initially, breakfast will not include any hot items such as omelets, French toast, pancakes, waffles, or breakfast sandwiches. From time to time, hot breakfast items may return.
Weekend Breakfast (Saturday & Sunday)
Weekend breakfast will move to a convenient grab-and-go continental breakfast bag.
Weekend breakfast offerings are expected to include cold and hot cereal, fresh fruit, juice, and bread/toast options.
These grab-and-go bags are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to one (1) grab-and-go bag per Family House guest. (Friends and family of Family House guests are not included in this offer)
Guests are reminded to please be mindful and only take an item at a time as needed while you are a guest of Family House.
Communal Food Pantry
Family House guests are free to utilize our complimentary pantry for any of their breakfast needs.
Dietary Needs
We understand that many guests have dietary restrictions or food allergies. Gluten-free and dairy-free options will continue to be available to help ensure everyone has access to breakfast choices that meet their needs.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these changes. Our goal remains the same: to provide a comfortable, caring environment and a positive experience for every guest at Family House.
Breakfast items are subject to change based on availability.
