THE MISSION CO FOUNDERS & DIRECTORS OF MISSION PITTSBURGH
Mike & Ariana Rebich
Meet Mike and Ariana Rebich, the founders of The Mission Co.! They have the coolest little boy named Michael, and they are Pittsburgh natives. Before Ariana and Mike ever met each other, they had both been involved in working on the behalf of others. Ariana had traveled to Africa working with kids, Mike had been to Honduras and Mexico, and both had been involved here in the United States.
After meeting in 2008 they continued to travel and work together to help those less fortunate. Seeing and being a part of life change was addicting to them. Much of that time was spent in other countries building churches, homes for children, schools, and digging water wells; as well as humanitarian aid along the gulf coast here in the USA.
In 2018, they made the move back to their hometown and decided it was time to turn a lifelong dream and calling into a reality. In January 2020 The Mission Co. officially launched. The Rebich family has big plans for the future of The Mission Co.—but in the meantime, they will continue changing the world one Mission at a time.
After years of working with non-profits, Mike and Ari noticed that there was a missing link between resources and those in need of those resources. This observation soon became a burden and the reason why The Mission Co. exists today. The main goal of The Mission Co. is to serve as the bridge that connects suppliers to communities in need. There are so many people who have generous hearts and want to make a difference in communities here in Pittsburgh and around the world, but knowing how to do that is sometimes difficult. The Mission Co.’s goal is to bridge the gap from generous partners, to real people with real needs both locally and globally.
We feel now, that there is a space for us to be and operate in both the local and international communities. There are areas that need someone to connect the generous hearts of people to other people and communities in need.
