Easter begins in a place of uncertainty. In the quiet of the morning, before hope had fully taken hold, the tomb stood empty–an unexpected reminder that even what feels final is not the end of the story.

That same promise carries into the work we see every day at Anchorpoint. As we celebrate Easter, we are so grateful for a community that helps make space for new beginnings in the lives of others.

Happy Easter from all of us at Anchorpoint 🤍

Congratulations to our fearless leader, Mark, for being named March's Member of the Month by the Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber! 🎉

Mark leads with humility, heart, and a deep commitment to the people we serve. We see the impact of his leadership every day, and we're so grateful for the way he champions our team and our mission.

A sincere thank you to the Chamber for this recognition and for their continued support of local nonprofits!

The PNRC is proud to dedicate its March 2026 Member of the Month honor to Mark Heinbockel, Executive Director at Anchorpoint Counseling Ministry, one of this year's Nonprofit Excellence Award finalists!

"It's been a pleasure to watch Mark grow in his career over the last ten-plus years," said PNRC Board Chair Tom Baker. "He is doing an exceptional job leading Anchorpoint. He was also a driving force in the creation of Nonprofits North and continues to provide guidance for the coalition.

"From hosting Mark as our graduate intern what feels like a lifetime ago at Big Brothers Big Sisters to having a ringside seat of him as a direct colleague at BBBS after he completed his graduate studies, Mark is always learning and growing.

"His Anchorpoint journey, which I’ve enjoyed as a community partner and ACM volunteer, has been very impressive. He has been the perfect impactful leader at the exact right time for Anchorpoint. I am very proud of him!"

Congratulations, Mark, and thank you for your exemplary service to the Chamber!
