Church leaders were partnering with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and Homewood Ministries to put on the program. Last November, there was a double homicide right outside of the church.
Program officials said the doors were open through the afternoon with the hope they received more donations in order to buy back more guns. They are planning to host another similar event soon.
The church is asking for more donations, but you cannot donate online. You'd have to go to the church directly.
Here’s the address:
The Church of the Holy Cross Episcopal
7507 Kelly Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15208
