Responses for where to recycle running shoes
by Erin Marie Williams 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

Thank you, neighbors for your suggestions on where to recycle/donate running shoes. Here is what was suggested: 1) Club One on Penn (verified) 2) donation box on Stanton, bear tennis courts (rumored to have once been there, I did not check it out) 3) Nike stores (unverified) 4) Famous Footwear (unverified) I took my shoes in to Club One. They have a small box in the lobby. It was overwhelmed by my bag of shoes, but the desk attendant didn’t seem to mind.

Fwd: Zone 5 Weekly Crime Report Aug 5 through 11
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Hi Neighbors, Some people have raised concerns about the recent increase in car break-ins. My understanding is that it is not uncommon to see more of that kind of activity during the summer when the weather is nice and kids have too much time on their hands. Highland Park is a very safe neighborhood overall. We can protect ourselves from property crimes such as this by locking our vehicles and not leaving valuables in them. A representative from Zone 5 can answer your questions at our community meeting tomorrow (Thursday 8/13, 7 pm, St. Andrew's). BTW, this meeting is a potluck social, so please bring a drink for yourself and a dish to share! Stephanie Walsh HPCC President Zone 5 Weekly Crime Report Aug 5 through 11 Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Zone 5 Police Station Weekly Crime Report *Week of Aug 5 through Aug 11* Pictured above: Our friends from "Let's Go Fishing".

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.
