a request for scrub caps
by Erin Marie Hatala 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hello neighbors, A friend that works at one of the local hospitals has let me know that at that particular location they are OK on many PPE supplies, but quite low on scrub caps. I know that the neighborhood mounted a wonderfully successful campaign to make cloth masks (thank you, Betty!), so if you're so inclined, I would love help making scrub caps. The ask is modest in number, but more than I can make on my own, especially since I am also making masks. I have linked to a DIY video and pattern that are free and relatively easy to follow: http://katiekadiddlehopper.blogspot.com/2019/07/reversible-scrub-cap-tutori… Please let me know if you are interested and able to help. Stay safe and healthy and six feet apart. Your neighbor, EM -- Erin Marie Williams-Hatala, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Biology Chatham University Pittsburgh, PA

Bryant Street Market Holiday Hours N'at--------Curbside Q&A's
by Robert Collins 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Howdy Folks, A few notes for ya'.......first our holiday hours....You may or may not know, Giant Eagle and many others will be closed on Easter. We WILL BE OPEN........ FRIDAY 4/10.......6:30 AM-8:00 PM SATURDAY 4/11.......8:00 AM-8:00 PM EASTER SUNDAY......7:00 AM-2:00 PM DELI CLOSES AT 1:00 PLEASE NOTE......Both Breadworks and Mancini's will be closed Easter Sunday so there will be no fresh bread delivered on Sunday.....If there is bread left over from Saturday we will be able to make sandwiches, otherwise not so much. If you would like any bread or buns ordered for Saturday, please call the store no later than noon Friday. OK.....Curbside pick up.....We can do curbside pick up and we will gladly take care of whatever you need to the best of our abilities.....We have not been promoting curbside only because we have been so overwhelmed with everything as far as this pandemic is concerned. More business, bigger deliveries, less staffing, and scrambling to find products anywhere we can. Now having said that, if you would like a curbside pick up, here are a few tips. Call as early in the day as you can, most people are home so this shouldn't be too big of a deal.... Try to have a list or idea in your mind of what we have or what you want. We will do our best to help you. (Most people do) :) DO NOT CALL AT LUNCH TIME PLEASE.....If you have to call in the afternoon, 2:00-4:00 is almost always good. Like I said, we are here to help.....Everyone is stressed to the max including us, if we can lighten your load in some way, we will....... Please, everyone take care of yourselves and your families.......I really appreciate every ones support over the years and most of all, these last so many weeks. Customers everyday thank us for being here and open, and I tell everyone it's a 2 way street. Please be safe from all of us. Bryant Street Market 5901 Bryant St. Pittsburgh, PA., 15206 412-661-8720 Monday-Friday: 6:30AM-8PM Saturday: 8AM-8PM Sunday: 8AM-7PM

Summary of recent info on CSA & Food Options
by Harold Love 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hi folks, Here is a summary of the information I received yesterday about food delivery and curbside pickup options. I don't want to be remiss in noting that the *Bryant Street Market* has been steadfast as always. 1.Instacart 2. Misfits Market, they deliver weekly. www.misfitsmarket.com If you use the code COOKWME-OS2PTE You will receive 25% off your first order. 3. Tiny Seed Farm still has CSA openings, they’re also doing weekly (I think) pickups at the farm and local deliveries. https://www.tinyseedfarmpgh.com/blog 4. I just signed up last week with Harvie, which offers local CSA, and Imperfect Foods - both w/home deliveries. I haven't received any product yet to offer an opinion on that. I'm expecting my first shipment from Imperfect Foods tomorrow. They offer "boxes" but really you just go online and buy what you want. There were some issues with shortages on basics like eggs, chicken breast. I was still able to get a nice selection of products though. I just made some adjustments, like getting a whole chicken instead of packaged. https://www.harvie.farm/ https://www.imperfectfoods.com/ 5. For eggs, meat, milk, and cheese, this service is usually a restaurant supply, but is doing $10 home delivery, and has been good about doing non-contact options. Have put in two orders, and glad to recommend. https://wildpurveyors.com/pittsburgh-home-delivery/ 6. A friend recently had luck here: https://isidorefoods.com/ I used them when I served on a wellness committee at my workplace. Super easy to work with. 7. Market street grocery downtown does curbside pick up. We know the owners and have done this. Good luck everyone and stay safe, Harold & Nancy Love

Bus routes will be in service on *Wednesday, April 8th and Friday, April 10th. *Each route can be found below, and we need your help getting the word out.

You Have Power: Self-Healing in the Time of the Coronavirus
by janet jai 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Dear Neighbors, Though I don’t usually talk about it, I am a self-healer. That means I generally self-heal any physical health problem I have by blending Eastern and Western medical knowledge and techniques with prayer and affirmations. I have written an article about how I self-heal to help you know that you have power, even when facing a fierce enemy like the coronavirus. The article is on my website: https://www.vision-and-values.com/self-healing.htm. If you find what I say helpful, feel free to pass this link on. Wishing us all the best of health, janet jai, MLA

by Deadra 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

For those of you who are planning for summer during this topsy turbo spring and have or know of a girl who lives to sing, Pittsburgh Girls Choir’s summer Choral Camp is July 6-10! Every day will include singing, crafts, dancing and games. Sliding scale tuition (affordable for all!) *and* NO payment due upon registration! Pittsburgh Girls Choir is hopeful that summer plans will not be affected by continued Covid-19 quarantining, but will not send invoices until certain that camp can occur. Please share with any friends and/or family who may be interested. Thanks!
