Hi there Neighbors - Every year, the Neighborhood Resilience Project in the Hill (formerly known as FOCUS Pittsburgh) — asks the local Orthodox Churches for help with Christmas gifts for the area children and seniors. Each Church has a Christmas tree decorated with angel tags featuring the names of the children and their gift ideas. Even with a few hundred tags that are distributed to these churches, there are always more people that need help. That’s where our group comes in to gather additional gifts. Last year, there were about 40 people that were unaccounted for and we made it happen. This year, the NRP is trying to gauge just how many people can be helped if we get the word out sooner. We would pull a name(s) out for you, and would take care of making sure that your gift would be put into an actual person’s hands for the Holidays. Children’s Angel Tag requests would be e-mailed to you in time to make a purchase, and then we in turn will pick these up from you, and deliver to NRP in time for the Holiday delivery. If you are interested, please e-mail us your contact information, and what you would be interested in donating to help those out in need, especially with this year’s isolation that some are feeling. If you would be willing to donate a $25 gift for children — ideas will be on a tag — or a $25 Target gift card for senior citizens. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Once again, we are working on our Monthly Collections of Donations for FOCUS/NRP, and are looking at picking up on 12 NOV 20, so please look for our e-mail this Friday regarding that Collection !!! Looking forward to hearing from those that wish to open their hearts to others this Holiday Season !!!
