Seeking Support for Vintage
by Kate Freed 14 May '20

14 May '20

Hello HP Community, Thank you for the continued support you have provided to Vintage so that they are able to serve older adults in our community during this difficult time. The response has been wonderful and much appreciated. Vintage is addressing specific needs for seniors as they are identified through regular check in calls. Today they are seeking a donation of twin mattress/boxspring and frame in good condition to be given to an older adult in need. They would also need help in transporting to local address. If you have a donation and can help - please be in touch. Thank you, Kate, Board Chairs, Vintage Center for Active Adults Kate Freed kmfreed(a)gmail.com

Highland Park Spring & Early Summer Event Cancellations
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 14 May '20

14 May '20

One of the things Highland Park residents love about this neighborhood is its vibrant and warm community. The HPCC enjoys serving the community and it's particularly rewarding for board members when we can bring folks together for events. Unfortunately because of the need for social distancing due to the Covid pandemic and related restrictions on the size of gatherings, the following events have been cancelled: - Spring Fling - Yard Sale - Bryant Street Festival - Garden Tour (organized by the Garden Club & sponsored by the HPCC) Please note that the May HPCC newsletter which will be arriving in your mailboxes soon features the Garden Tour. We had expected that that event would still be possible when we went to print, but unfortunately it too has to be cancelled. Community meetings will be held on Zoom until further notice; look for more information on May's meeting soon. We are planning events that allow for social distancing, such as Sidewalk Chalk-a-Palooza - - now we just need the warm weather! We have not yet heard from the City its plans for the events it brings to the park in the summer: the Reservoir of Jazz and Cinema in the Park. We will let you know when they make an announcement. -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Looking for planters to expand container garden
by Rebecca Maclean 14 May '20

14 May '20

Hi neighbors - we're planning on expanding our container garden and are looking for old pots that are still usable, old planters, or any object that could withstand being outside in the elements for a while (metal coffee cans, old roasting pans, galvanized buckets - use your imagination!). If you have anything hiding in corners of your basement or garages that I could repurpose, please let me know! I'm happy to pick up whenever is convenient. Thanks, Rebecca

Hi neighbors I am looking for a used bike for my girls, ages 10/14. Both fairly small( not 5 ft) but they have outgrown their bikes. I really do not want to buy new bikes at this time, but reasonable used ones. Any one in the neighborhood looking to get rid of some bikes? Erin

MAY FOCUS Pittsburgh collection next week on Wednesday, 20 MAY 2020, starting at 9:00 AM for Non-Perishable Food ONLY
by Michael Nadler 13 May '20

13 May '20

Dear Neighbors, First of all, we hope you and yours are safe and well !!! There have been a couple of drives to get supplies to NRP (used to be FOCUS) during the last two months, but we did not wish to take away from the efforts directly helping those within our own neighborhood, so have handled setting up meals, etc, there. They have had limited access to the public coming in one by one, so the needs have been a little less, but with Quarantine opening up, they are again expanding their availability to those in need. We are again letting our neighborhood know that we will be driving the neighborhood picking up for the monthly NRP Collection next week on Wednesday, 20 MAY 2020. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM that morning, so we are looking for non-perishable food ONLY to restock there pantry. PLEASE NO CLOTHES on this month's pickup, as NRP has moved locations, and is working on setting up both storage, as well as distribution at the new location. Reminder, not only has Focus moved a couple of blocks, but has also changed its name to Neighborhood Resilience Project (NRP), however it remains under the direction of Father Paul Abernathy. Please note the attachment with their Mission Statement and Impact Programs. Please donate, as these are all needed and we are running our monthly pick-up from the neighborhood for Supplies for FOCUS, now Neighborhood Resilience Project !!! In March we took a smaller load, but 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, then we will pick up and get your donations to FOCUS, now Neighborhood Resilience Project (NRP). So we are doing this again next week on Wednesday, 20 MAY 2020. 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. In advance, thank you for your consideration. Mike & Brigette Michael Millet Nadler Past President and Board Member, Highland Park Community Council Pittsburgh, PA 15206 (412) 363-3483, Fax: (412) 363-2925, e-mail: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>
