Winter Supplies Drive
Early in the morning of December 10th, the Neighbor's Pub was vandalized and set on fire. A good neighbor happened to be walking by at the right time, stopped the fire, and may have saved the pub and all of the residents who reside in the apartments above. This community member is currently experiencing homelessness. In an effort to thank him for this selfless act, we’re collecting items for him and his cat.
WHAT TO DONATE
• new or gently used gloves, hats, coats, socks, + other winter items
• nonperishable canned goods
• cans of cat food
• hand sanitizer, baby wipes, toiletries
• gift cards to grocery stores, CVS, Trader Joe's, etc.
If you are a small business or a professional with a service to offer, please email hello@theneighborspub.org.

Please bring donations to the Neighbor’s Pub on
Friday, December 20th 4pm -11pm
Saturday, December 21st 12pm - 11pm
Sunday, December 22nd 12pm - 11pm
Please do not drop off items when the pub is closed.
All donated items will go directly to our kind community member. In the case of extra items, we'll let him decide what to do with the extras (ie. distribute it to others, have us donate it to an org, etc.)
This supplies drive is done with the consent of this community member. His name is currently anonymous as I did not get his consent to share it.
