Livingston Philanthropies, Inc. (LPI) founder and director, Jeff Friedman, spoke, via Zoom at Tuesday morning’s Rotary meeting. He focused on homelessness and LPI’s mission of providing for the homeless and profoundly poor. LPI is urgently requesting new clothing items and diapers for families living below the poverty line. “The extreme need has rocketed as the pandemic continues,” Friedman explained at the meeting. LPI’s “Personal Shopping for the Homeless” initiative empowers generous Livingston residents to take advantage of online sales to purchase men’s medium, large and extra-large winter coats, winter jackets, underwear, socks, shirts, gloves, hats, scarves, and other accessories at reduced prices. Diapers in all sizes, 1 to 6, are immediately needed by families, many of whom are losing jobs at a record pace. “Personal Shopping” purchases may be shipped directly to Friedman in Livingston, or to one’s home; he can be emailed at njhomeless@aol.com to arrange convenient drop-off or pick-up. For those who would rather enable LPI volunteers to personal shop for them, tax-deductible contributions may be mailed to LPI, P.O. Box 247, Livingston, NJ 07039, or handled directly on PayPal at paypal.me/lpinj.
