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@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.
