What is S.W.A.G

The S.W.A.G (Social Worker Appreciation of Greatness) Awards Ceremony was created to recognize the “heart work” of local social workers that is oftentimes unappreciated and unrecognized.

The goal of the annual S.W.A.G awards ceremony is to recognize 21 social workers in the Greater Pittsburgh Area who exemplify servant leadership through their commitment to promoting advocacy, social justice, generational healing and building stronger communities.

These social workers were nominated by their peers and selected by a committee. 

​

Due to ongoing health and safety concerns posed by COVID-19, we have decided to host a virtual award ceremony to honor the work of local social workers.

Now more than ever we are looking forward to honoring social workers as we continue to fight against 3 pandemics plaguing this region-health, economics, and systemic racism.

​

In collaboration with 412 Food Rescue, we are requesting assistance from volunteers to help us deliver meals to approximately 185 guests in Allegheny County for the virtual event being held on March 28, 2021 at 2pm.
