Neighbors, I'm looking for 4 carseats for recently resettled refugee families. I asked last year for a few and was so moved by your generosity and kindness. If you're no longer using a carseat and would be willing to donate it, I guarantee it will go to great family! Please message me and you can drop it at my house on Sheridan or office in Bakery Square. Thank you!! -- Best, Sloane Sloane Davidson Founder & CEO | Hello Neighbor <https://www.helloneighbor.io/> @sloane <https://twitter.com/sloane> | @helloneighborhq <https://twitter.com/helloneighborhq>

Dehumidifier?
by Tintinbrett 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Does anyone have a dehumidifier they're looking to part with? Happy to pay for it, just thought I'd see if there was a neighbor resource, before trecking around the big box stores. Ours just kicked up its heels after years of loyal service. Cheer Brett Sent from my iPad

CSA Recommendations
by Traci D 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hello! I'm thinking about signing up for a CSA this year. I have seen some recommendations in the past on the listserv, so I thought I'd reach out. Do you use a CSA, which one? What do you like/don't like about it? Do you find CSA's to be useful? Or do you feel that it's wasteful or overpriced? Would live to hear feedback! Thanks, Traci
