by Joy 20 May '19

20 May '19

Does anyone have tools lying around to sell to a novice gardener? Looking for an edger/shovel, a pitchfork that's not huge (for amending soil--i'm not tall, so not a giant one). Basically all i have is a trowel! thanks, Joy

Dear Neighbors, We are again letting our neighborhood know that we will be driving the neighborhood picking up for the monthly FOCUS Collection TOMORROW, on Tuesday, 21 MAY 19. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM TOMORROW morning, so if you have non-perishable food items and Personal Hygiene items please donate, as these are all needed and 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 TOMORROW, on Tuesday, 21 MAY 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.
