Do you support refugees but don't know any personally? Hello Neighbor <https://www.helloneighbor.io/> is having our first Friends and Family Potluck this Saturday at the Locust Shelter in Riverview Park from 2-5pm. We'll have games, music, and fun activities for all ages. We ask that you bring one food item (homemade or store bought) big enough to share. Our mentorship program for refugees currently has 25 matches. That is 50 families scattered all through Pittsburgh, including a Highland Park family. We have 86 kids under the age of 18 from 6 different countries. We've been having fun getting together this summer already in the park, at The Warhol, and now it's time to invite you to join us.

Regret that you didn't plant enough tomatoes?
by Helen Blier 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Fear not! I have about a dozen healthy, happy San Marzano seedlings! I was feeling pessimistic when I started them by seed, and lo and behold, all the seeds took and I have far more than I needed. Come help yourself to one (or more) - front stoop, 912 Farragut. You might even find a stray Brandywine in there, too... Helen
