by Michael Nadler 16 Mar '19

Dear Neighbors, We are again letting our neighborhood know that we will be driving the neighborhood picking up for the monthly FOCUS Collection on this coming Tuesday, 19 MAR 19. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM on this TUESDAY morning, so if you have non-perishable food items, Clothing, Coats, Boots & blankets, etc. are all needed, as We are running our monthly pick-up from the neighborhood for Supplies for FOCUS !!! We have attached a letter in regards to what they need, but most importantly it is FOOD, Clothing, etc. are all needed at this time. Last month we took our Van Loaded, and it was so needed and so much appreciated. Mike and Brigette Nadler, are coordinating the Highland Park pick up. If you are inclined to help, leave the supplies on your front porch and we will pick up and get your donations to FOCUS. So we are doing this again on this Tuesday, 19 MAR 19. We will be around starting at 9:00 AM, and need to get the donations there by noon. Please DO NOT drop off here, as we do not have a way of storing donations. Just email us your actual address to: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you. MAKE SURE that there is a Phone Number so that we can reach you during collection times, should there be any questions. FOCUS Pittsburgh, located in the Hill District, is part of a national movement through the Orthodox Church, that helps to fight poverty in communities across America. One of their areas in need is keeping their food pantry stocked with food and supplies. Currently, their shelves are empty and they need help. The above attachment highlights what they need. It could change on a monthly basis, at which point that need will be communicated. FOCUS Pittsburgh has been in the Hill since 2011. Each week, hundreds of backpacks are distributed to children in the Hill and Southside Public Schools. They offer an 8-week professional development class that teaches non-technical job skills to promote employment and success in the workplace. Bag lunches are distributed every Saturday through the Churches....140 lunches to be exact. In 2014, they opened a free medical and behavioral health clinic for people who are uninsured or who don't qualify for medical assistance. Most recently, they have purchased an RV, trained dozen of volunteers, and have formed a trauma response team -- responding to homicides in Allegheny County by providing on-site psychological and mental health care to residents affected by violence. In advance, thank you for your consideration.

Lawn care
by Emily Nicholson 15 Mar '19

We are looking for a person or landscaping company to provide grass cutting and light landscaping work to our yard this spring, summer and fall. We would love it if we could find someone who can commit to coming on a certain day every week (thus eliminating the need to make phone calls to see when the person is coming) and who also uses a convenient billing system - like sending a monthly bill that can be paid online using PayPal or Venmo (thus eliminating the need to be home when the person comes and to have the exact amount of cash on hand). Please let me know if you know someone. Thanks! Emily Sent from my iPhone

Running for the Kids

Dear Friends of the Homeless Children's Education Fund, Are you running or do you know anyone who is planning to run in the Relay, Half or Full Pittsburgh Marathon on Sunday, May 5th or the 5K on Saturday, May 4th? If so, could you ask them if they would like to support the mission of the Homeless Children's Education Fund and advance the education of children and youth experiencing homelessness? Last year over 3,500 children and youth were identified by their Allegheny County schools as experiencing homelessness. If this is a possibility for anyone you know, please ask them to click on the HCEF Crowdrise link https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/hcefpghmarathon19 and register. If you or your friends have any questions or want to let HCEF know in person that you are planning to run for the children, please contact MJ Meenen at Mjmeenen(a)homelessfund.org<mailto:Mjmeenen@homelessfund.org> or 412-562-0154 x201 Although HCEF is only a probationary charity in the 2019 Marathon, we are hoping to be one of the official Pittsburgh Marathon Charities in 2020. We need 11 more runners to sign up to support HCEF for the 2019 race to become eligible for this consideration. It would be great if you would join them and run for the children! Bless you- Susy Robison 412-596-7543 -- *Bruce Robison* *Rector, St. Andrew's Church* *Highland Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania*
