ISO: Washer & Dryer
by Shayla Grosick 02 Feb '22

Hello, If anyone recently purchased a washer & dryer and plans to get rid of their old units please let me know. I think we have the ability to accept either a gas or electric dryer, but would prefer gas! We are moving within the month and when we bought the house it did not come with these appliances. -Shayla

by T Woo 01 Feb '22

Hi, Neighbors, I have to bring my two kitties (both between 10-15 lbs) to the vet next week for a checkup but only have one carrier. If you have a cat carrier in gently used condition that you would like to part with, please contact me. I would rather buy from a neighbor than from Amazon/pet store. Thanks! Tisha

Knife sharpening

01 Feb '22

Hi Neighbors, We just had 13 kitchen knives sharpened by Dan Thompson , Who lives in Highland Park. He came and picked up all of our knives, sharpened them and promptly returned them the following day. He’s a delightful and friendly man . I would highly recommend him to sharpen your kitchen knives.

Hello Neighbor Support
by Sloane Davidson 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Neighbors, My organization Hello Neighbor <https://www.helloneighbor.io/> works to resettle new neighbors to Pittsburgh. So many of you have been so supportive since we first started in 2017. I'd especially like to thank the St. Andrew's Church Community! We're hard at work welcoming Afghans families and have a few really urgent needs that we could use your help with the following immediately: - Does anyone have winter jackets, hats and gloves that you are no longer using in good condition? Or... - Are you willing to go shop at your local Goodwill or Red, White and Blue? Or... - Are you willing to buy discounted/end of season items? - Are you willing to drop these at our office or ship them to us? We're required to provide these items for new arrivals. We had over 40 new neighbors join us last week! We need these for babies, toddlers, young kids, older kids and adults. We're at the office Tuesday-Thursdays from 9-5 but we can also arrange another time if more convenient for you. Our address is 6587 Hamilton Avenue, #1E, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 We have a lot of other needs too: - Leads on safe and affordable housing - Leads on entry-level jobs and employment opportunities - Volunteer opportunities to help support our work and newest neighbors Reach out to me with any ideas, thank you Highland Park! Best, Sloane Sloane Davidson Founder and CEO, Hello Neighbor <https://www.helloneighbor.io/> Contact: (310) 422-4895 | sloane(a)helloneighbor.io
